Well this is my second year using the Hornady SST slugs and although they shot really well out of my slug gun the just do not perform upon impact with deer. Last year I had a slug fail after hitting a running deer which caused me to make a follow up shot. Since I had purchased a few boxes of these I used them again this year and the slug failed again this year. I had a broadside running shot on a buck around 30 yards =/- a few yards. I had a solid hit right in the front leg. The slug broke the bone but failed to penetrate. The copper jacket completely seperated from the lead. If the slug would have performed properly like other slugs would have the slug would have at least made it into the lungs and the deer would have not made it much further but instead I was forced to push the deer further and make a follow up running away shot in the back leg then yet another once the deer could not move anymore at close range. I will never shoot these slugs again due to poor performance for two years now.

Just wondering if anyone else has problems with this round failing upon impact.
