This does not surprise me. I killed a pretty decent mule deer just last week using a 165gr Interbond out of my 30.06. He was quartering towards me and I hit him in the front part of his chest. The bullet traversed all the way through him and exited just in front of the far side hip. Killed him deader than dead. That was also 40" or more of penetration. I started using Interbonds when they first came out and since doing so I quit looking at other bullets, as I found the perfect bullet for my style of hunting. I've killed 30+ big game animals with them and I'm impressed everytime. They just plain work! Oh and in regards to the guy asking about the SST's. The answer is no, they are not the same animal as the Interbonds. I tried SST's for a while and in my opinion they are just Hornady's version of a Nosler Ballistic Tip with very similar performance.
