[QUOTE="JiminAZ, post: 2601205, member: 120096"] Years ago I had a failure using Hornady factory loaded 165 SST in 30-06. Shot a little California black tail square on the shoulder at 75 yards or so. Bullet went splat and did not penetrate the shoulder blade. Deer did the 3 legged hop along until he paused and I put one behind the shoulder and he went down. Recovered the jacket on top of the shattered shoulder blade. Did not penetrate to vitals. Haven’t touched any SST since. Afterward went to Federal fusion in 308 with great success on deer. Then CA made us go copper, TSX and TTSX were the ticket. All bullets have their limitations. [/QUOTE]
