My advise is to do a necropsy on every deer to see what your boolit did. If you make a good hit and can't find blood on the ground and lose a deer, go back to the drawing board. You might have way too much expansion too fast.
There is no such thing as "energy dump", get over it. Make your bullet/boolit work.
Deer do not have fat over the ribs, they have it in areas like over the rump and it is like candle wax, it does not flow to plug a hole. The reason you will get no blood from a hole is you mashed tissue that will seal.
Why does a sharp arrow work? Cut yourself shaving and see why.
I have over 250 archery kills and found a stronger bow with a very heavy arrow is best. 6" of hard ground after the arrow goes through a deer is best. Stop an arrow inside is a lost deer or a long tracking job.
I have killed healthy deer in gun season with healed in arrows, 6" of shaft with sharp broad heads in the chest. Two of three where I almost cut myself gutting. I have a fear when I open a deer now. I gave a deer to a friend that found the third. High speed bows with light arrows that can not penetrate.
Did I ever tell you deer are easy to kill? I do not use a keyboard to hunt.
