[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 573932, member: 8873"] I used to shoot Ballistic Tips out of my 7mag but lost two good bucks after hitting them behind the shoulder. Both times instantly seen the red rose of death. One jumped into a large swiftly moving creek and never came out and the other ended up in the back of another truck. I switched to the larger for caliber 162 SST and haven't had a problem since. I started shooting through both shoulders if possible and have had complete penetration from close in to over 400 yards. I load the 139 SST for a buddy but he would rather have the velocity instead of the penetration of the heavier bullet with longer shank. To the OP, Man that sucks! You might get told it's hard to blame the bullet if you can't see the end results. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm sure those two deer are dead so the bullet probably did it's job, just not as proficiently as you would like(as in my case). A change in bullet might be in order, if nothing else to restore your confidence. [/QUOTE]
