Kraky, I had a 170 grain Hornady completely penetrate a deer at 236 yards, with a fairly impressive spray of blood on the snow. the bullet was started out at 2184 fps.
Someone forgot to tell the bullet and the deer that the bullet was supposed to just bounce off....
I've yet to have a 170 gr bullet of any kind stop in a deer except on a lengthwise shot. I killed one at 314 yds with a 150 gr. core-lokt over 33 gr.s IMR 3031. It was a broadside shot that broke the onside shoulder and the bullet exited just behind the offside shoulder. The deer went down in 30 yds..
