ORIGINAL: cty100

The .308 in 150 grain will penetrate the front side shoulder or ribs and will be under the hide on the back side with a corelokt bullet, thus transfereing the energy into the deer.
The original post references shots of 100yds and under, at that range a 308 with a 150gr bulletwill exit the off side.

Shot placement is the most important issue to quickly putting a deer down. However, most deer will still run a short distance.
