It's about shot placement, and bullet construction . Weights and measures get all messed up when construction of the bullet is upped.
Typically lighter for caliber bullets are more frangible. So your thinking is inverted.
Core Loct's are good bullets, and 165's in the 30-06 is a match made in heaven. It sucks you plugged your deer in the wrong part of its body. But really could it have been any deader?
For the sake of 3-5 pounds of meat, don't worry about it.
