The two deer I got with the 250g yellow tip shockwave were shot at under 50 yards. Neither time did the bullet expand much, it just punched right on through. Blood trails were fair, as in I could follow them but it wasn't easy. I can see how people would have a hard time with these bullets.

I may stick with them just because folks say they do well at longer ranges, and there's a very good chance that I could get a longer shot on my property. Plus, they shoot great out of my Omega.
