Son shot his first buck with one in 7-08. Great shot placement, but no exit. Deer ran about 60 yards into thick pines but no blood to follow. Just happened to find him. Internal damage was great, but found both lead and copper jacket separated under skin on opposite side.
It did what it was supposed to do, dump all its energy in the animal, but he still ran with no trail to follow. I love when deer go bang-flop, but if they run, I want a blood trail to follow. Have switched to barnes TTSX that I reload for him. Buck he shot with one of those had perfect shot placement again, deer ran 20 yards into a pine tree. Spewing blood the whole way

I used to shoot both sst and interlock when I had 30-06. One of the biggest holes I ever saw in a deer was the exit on a young deer shot at close range with one of those.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:

I started shooting them when they first came out and haven't looked back. I shoot a 165 grain .300 win mag SST. 99% DRT. I've killed over 100 deer with them and never had a problem. Everyone has their own opinion. If there was something inferior about the bullet wouldn't i have found it over the last 12 years and 100 deer? It's not a ballistic tip and doesn't act like one either. It does leave devastating wound channels, but holds together better.
