Default RE: poor blood trails, switch gun/ammo?

ORIGINAL: Schobs

I'm using core-lokts, fmj's are illegal in here in WI. Does anybody use some slightly more expensive shells that they have better success with? I know that shells shoot differently for every gun, but i'm looking for a bullet that'll leave a decent exit wound, not a grapefruit sized hole, but somethin bigger than a quarter like i've been getting from the core lokts. thanks again for the advice guys, only 11 more months until gun season starts up again!!
Here is a mule deer doe taken at a lasered 298yds. with factory 150gr. Winchester Power Point ammo out of a 270wsm. One shot through both lungs. She went 30yds. only with no blood trail. Seemed to do the job.
