I shot a deer yesterday with a Barnes TTSX 150g in 308. She was quartering away and about to head out so I lined up on her lungs and fired. Entry wound was 3" in diameter, it went through her chest cavity and lodged in her left shoulder. It absolutely devastated her right lung, not really anything left of it. I just don't get how the bullet exiting from her shoulder would have done anything of benefit as compared to it lodging in the shoulder. Maybe knock her down or something but the lung damage was a fast death sentence
[edit]
She did run 70 yards before she fell, maybe if the bullet had penetrated and exited her shoulder instead of lodging in it ... maybe she would have fallend sooner

I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin. Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...
