I wouldn't either--but recently came to the conclusion that end-to-end penetration doesn't mean as much as many hunters think, because the inside of a deer-sized animal isn't nearly as hard as its "shell."
Such penetration is often held up as an example of the super-penetration of monolithic bullets, but I shot lengthwise through a pronghorn buck with a 150-grain Ballistic Tip in a .308, and have seen other examples of lead-cored "premiums" doing the same thing on animals from deer to medium-sized elk.
