Default RE: 245 grain vs 295 grain bullets?

Thought I'd add in that the bullets did not pass through. The first shot which was about perfect went and poked the skin out on the other side of the deer but didn't break the skin. The second shot which was after he was on the ground. He couldn't get up and was flapping around so I shot him again in the back as I wasn't sure at that time where I had hit him the first time and I didn't want him to suffer. I couldn't get a shot behind his shoulders again as he kept putting his head there so I shot him in the spine at probably 20-30 yards and that one went about halfway through him but didn't come back out either. It went down towards the bottom of him it wasn't a spine shot from the side. Had I know how great of a shot the first one had been I might not have taken the 2nd one as it just wasted a little bit of meat. I was afraid he would get away though as I wasn't sure if I had hit him where I wanted to.
