I shoot a PSE DNA at 63# and 29" DL and I shoot Rage Hypos now. Prior I shot a Martin Cheetah at 60# and used Slick Trick Razor Tricks or Magnus Stingers because of the cut on contact design. Now my daughter-in-law I have set up with her 40# Martin using Slick Trick Viper Tricks or Muzzy Phantoms.
My point is that light draw weight and big expandables do not go together. You need sufficient speed and weight to drive these into the vitals.
I don't really think it matters what size the hole is when the lungs collapse
