Just a respectful response, I prefer heavier bullets since I like exit wounds. Animals hit through both lungs can have a couple hundred yards legs under them yet, and an exit wound does help the blood trail significantly. An exit wound with a 130 grain bullet = an exit wound with a 150 grain bullet. I just think the sectional density of the heavier bullet will make an exit wound more likely with the 150.

I can tell you this. I'd rather use a 130 grain Nosler than a 150 grain "standard" bullet if I was looking for an exit wound.
