Perhaps better shot placements are the best thing to do with the 30-06 and 165 grain bullets...

We'll you cannot use a 223 for hunting big game, and for me it's bullet construction that has to do with damage, not so much grain. Also if you worry about damage I would rather shoot at the lungs, a you only ruin a couple strips of meat between the ribs.
