you can get a " premium controlled expansion buulet " like nosler partitons ,trophy bonded bear claws, barnesX bullets.

so you can use 150gr. and no to little meat loss. i used 165gr. sierra gameking' s like said in prior post. the bullet went in the size of the caliber. and came out the size of a half dollar. no meat loss just alittle bruising on the exit wound. but hit real close to the shoulder.
i would not worry that much about meat loss. it should be minimal anyway. if you want meat loss go with the BT' s i have seen some nasty entrance wounds from them.
