I'm just the opposite. I got to where I like a slow, heavy for caliber bullet that plows right through. I grew up shooting a 7mm Mag and saw a lot of velocity damaged meat get tossed to the dogs. On this doe I had less than a pound (one handful) of bullet damage I had to toss. Haven't used my 7mm in years. On my 375 H&H I only load 300 gr bullets and load them to the original velocity of 2400 fps. I've never recovered a bullet they just punch straight through and there is virtually no blood shot meat or jellied tissue.
