Try the following: 165 g TTSX, trophy copper, GMX in your 30-06. Whichever shoots best, clean in between different loads as copper/copper alloy bullets tend to like their own fouling. Since they hold together there is less damage than a lead bullet. That being said, with almost any rifle if you center a shoulder you wreck it. The scapula spreads the shock and damages the meat.

I got sick of losing deer shoulders with my 308 and bought a 243 running 85 gr ttsx. Toonie sized entrance and exit, lots of blood in the ground, and if I nick a shoulder, I just cut 1-2 inches off.
