.308 Sierra MK for whitetails?

I have seen two deer shot with 168 smk's. The first I shot with a 30-06 at rather close range and the bullet EXPLODED! I could put both fist in the entrance hole. I think this was due to rather high velocities and I hit the shoulder bone.

The second my brother in-law shot out of a 308 at 60 yards. the bullet hit the near side leg bone and blew up with no exit. It ran 30 yards with a awesome blood trail. The entrance hole was so big its heart was almost falling out!

I think both acted the same due to hitting bone and close ranges?

That's what I've seen. Would i hunt with another? Yes. But no need to with the bullets of today that shoot as good or better?
