In your defense, I had the same type results. Every buck I shot but one ran 75-100 yards with a 130 partition. Wouldn't have mattered much if I wasn't hunting the thickest stuff on the planet, but I was. Found all of them but they were butt deep in briars. Shot placements were perfect.

My 7mm magnum with 140 grain fusions puts them down waaay quicker when I'm in the thick.
