Default Changing BH's for next year

I made the switch to Aftershock Archery Hypershock 125's this year. I was sold on the 2 3/4" diameter, and the devestating pics and video that was on their website. I must say, I have been less than impressed with their performance. The ferrule is aluminum, the blades were not very sharp out of the package (fixed that) and a couple of the heads seemed to be cross threaded. Finally got them tweaked to my liking and hunted with them. I shot a buck in the ribs at 8 yards and got less than 7 inches of penetration. Found the deer close by, but still, no blood= me not happy. Last Saturday I shot a much smaller deer, 25 yards broadside, still only got about 12 inches of penetration. I saw her drop.[&:]My buddys are telling me "Hey, they work, you killed 2 deer." I don't think I'm asking too much for a bloodtrail. Before you ask, I'm shooting 28.5 inch draw, 68lbs, Mathews LX. Full length CX Rebel Hunter arrows, 125 gr head.
I've used Grim Reapers with excellent results, same with Muzzy 100gr 3 blades. I'm swithcing it up next season, not sure what I'll be shooting, but it won't be these.
