Default RE: SST and Shockwave blood trails?

Didn't likethe SSTs after shooting them lastyear because of no blood. Killed two deer, lost another one. Exit holes about the same size as the entrance holes. Also the bullets are expensive. I might give them another go next year after thinking that they may need to be pushed faster than I was with two 50 gr. 777 pellets. I now shoot 115gr of 777 which is a faster load.

This year I switched to Speer Gold Dots, 300gr. Taken two deer so far and neither one moved a muscle. One was a 140 yard high shoulder shot taking outspine. The other was a facing shoton a large doe that entered at the base of the neck and tranversed the entire length of the animal. I recovered that bullet and the results were pretty impressive.See below
