I have some 105s but have yet to shoot a deer with one (not planning to). I can say that for my 308, somehow I grabbed a box of 155gr Amax loads instead of my 150gr SST loads when heading out for a whitetail hunt and didn't realize it until I was cleaning my kill. The Amax killed the deer at just shy of 300 yards in its tracks, BANG-FLOP. Didn't take a single step. However, it appeared that the bullet broke up and the core separated from the jacket inside the deer. Small entrance hole, small exit hole, very little meat loss but lots of damage to the organs. Bullet hit a rib upon entering, not sure how it would be if I had to punch through a shoulder though.
