One of the last few deer we tracked last year was a big bodied buck that was shot with a 30-30 from 150 yards with a silver tipped bullet. The hunter hit the deer square on the shoulder and I believe the bullet just exploded into the meat and bone. I wish I could have seen this one skinned out to see exactly what happened. We got the deer up several hours after the shot though, bayed it up, and finished it off…..He made a really good shot but the gun and bullet choice did not preform well at all in that situation. I had a couple runners with 150's back in the day (seemingly larger TN deer) and switched to 170's and that pretty much ended it. Swap up to a 200 in .35 Rem and that gives even a bit more oomph in my experience. You can't quantify it on paper just shoot a couple deer with each and decide for yourself or take my advice and save yourself the trouble.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
