I had the same results on black bear TOW2ATM. Two shots, two hits, basically they made an x through the chest, behind right shoulder and throught left leg, hitting bone and then through right shoulder and out low behind the left. Bear ran 500 yards before dropping, and was standing still at the first shot. In my opinion there is no way the bear should not have dropped on the first shot. That was the last time I used them. They get great penetration but did not expand nor transfer the energy into the animal. Not worth my money in my opinion.
I use failsafes in my 300 win mag and have never hada problem with expansion. If you would read about a bullet before shooting it you would know more their made for controlled expansion, deep penetration, and weight retention, maybe not the perfect whitetail bullet but I use it with very good results. I would like to see a bearget shot through both shoulders twice and still run 500 yards I smell BS.Also you think if you would have been using a different bullet and hit it in the same spot it would have killed him any quicker com'on.
I here alot a peoplewhine about how this bullet didnt work well if you want a hole you can stick your fist through go find some ballistic tips, remembertheir is no bullet that will drop game in its tracks every time it aint happen.
