No sir. A big hole in. A big hole out. That is The Best. There is no such thing as "wasted energy" with bullets. They don't have "energy" in the common way we think of energy.
I once hung a 48 pound Mesquite log on a 6 foot arm and measured how hard various guns and loads hit it.

I fired into it from 15 feet.

A 300 Winchester Magnum had about as much hitting power as a 24 oz. claw hammer swung as hard as you could.
You know this WB!! Stop reading stuff on the internet!
