Good grief Charlie Brown! I've had many more deer drop where they stood then ran off. As far back as I can remember using a CF I only ever had 2 deer run off. One was with a .243 but upon later examination the usually reliable 100 gr Hornady Interlock exploded on contact and never penetrated. The other was a Remington Core-Lokt 150 from a .308. Both deer were recovered however with the one using the .243 required a quick running follow up shot. All the deer (and antelope) shot with my .270 dropped like a sack of potatoes.
My ratio with the ML is about 50-50 dropping and running. This includes deer taken with PRB, Powerbelt, XTPs, REALs, and Barnes EZs. IMO its about 99% bullet placement.
