The 85 grain was designed for varmints. This bullet was to fragment upon impact devastating varmints. With light skinned big game such as deer, the same type of bullet would enter slightly and shatter without much of a vital wound. Heavier bullets are designed for delayed expansion, instead of instant shattering. The delay allows for penetration through the thick bone and muscle with a conical shape, and then the bullet expands in a mushroom. Tis the difference tween varmint and big game bullet works.
