Ron No, I'm not kidding. It is my opinion that a bullet should expend all its energy inside the target or at least most of it. Ideally with just enough KE to pass through. While I admire your testing I see absolutely no reason other than greater accuracy to use a premium bullet that travels through and animal and still has enough KE left over to drop an elephant. I'm exaggerating of course but I think you know what I mean. I would not hesitate for a second to use one on elk, moose bear or similar game. But for deer, for me, the XTPs work great and I've yet to have a whitetail complain. But then again, I use 300 gr .44 and .45 cal and 200 gr .40 cal.
