Like the rest, I don't see that you are having a problem at all. Two deer dead on the spot with less meat damage than you had with the 30-06. Am I missing something here?

Core lokts certainly are not the "problem". They, obviously, will kill deer dead as anything out there. They have been doing it longer than and have probably accounted for more dead deer than just about any other bullet out there today.

Ask many of the experts and they will tell you that you are getting perfect bullet performance. Many do not want the bullet to exit. Instead they prefer the bullet to use 100% of its energy inside the animal and stop just under the skin on the far side.

But Rangerlab is right if you want a pass thry a Barnes, or failsafe will certainly give it to you. Probably will pass thru two or three deer.
