The 234 pounder that I shot was hit at about 35 yards. The Gameking penertrated BOTH front shoulders. The 175 pounder was shot at about 45 yards in a cedar swamp. He was facing me, slightly quartering. The 165 Gameking went through his chest and exited out behind the left shoulder. The 4 pointer I shot 2 years ago was quartering away at about 35 yards and the 165 Gameking broke his off shoulder.

Instead of worring about penetration why do you shoot them, get familar with your rifle, hit where you aim and kill some deer.
