I've shot 2 animals this year with a 257 wby. Wt buck was shot quartering away, broke 4 ribs, bullet tumbled through heart and lungs and came out sideways through opposite shoulder, ran 30 yards and came down. Absolute mess. I shoot a moose calf in the back of the head, DRT. All the meat and organs intact.
Both were shot with 100ttsx traveling some 3500ft/s and 3000ft/lbs of energy. One animal at 160lbs the other closer to 400-450lbs. shots were taken at 60-75 yards.
