Hornady Interlocks ... but it did matter on the other animal, which had to be shot again because the first didn't make it into the chest after hitting the shoulder joint.
J.B., do you recall the cartridge particulars, caliber, bullet weight and range for the one which didn't penetrate?
I had a .358 Win 200gr Interlock SP not make it all the way through a shoulder. Fortunately, it was the off-side shoulder as I shot the buck quartering away, bullet entered towards the rear of left rib cage, destroyed the lungs, shattered the off-side scapula and lodged in the ball joint. Range was short ... about 30 to 35 yards. Charge was 47.5 grains IMR 3031. It left me wondering if the Interlock would have penetrated to vitals if I'd hit him in the shoulder at entrance. I've pondered moving up to 250 grains, although I try to avoid hitting shoulders to save meat anyways.
