Stopped using them 15 or so years ago because of the same issue y'all have already discussed. Shot a nice buck in the shoulder about 125 yds. Bullet exploded inside deer on opposite shoulder. Only had a 27 caliber entry wound and no blood. Deer ran about 200 yds in a thicket. Just happened to walk up on him. Been buying the green and yellow box ever since, no more problems. (The silvertips did group better than any other bulletproof out of that gun)
