Uncle has been using the 117 SST from his 25-06 for going on 20 years. He is a lung shooter, never heard him complain.
A bud uses them and he likes them better than a Game king which I never thought he would say. He was always a GK fan until he shot the SST. Says they put deer down quick fast and in a hurry where the GK usually let em run 20-30 yards.
My thoughts on your issue is the deer were not hit properly.
