I loaded up 117 SST in a 25-06 for my daughter to use deer hunting. She hit a rib on a small doe at about 80 yards broadside and had about a 4 inch entry hole. Never used that bullet again on an animal so it was just experience using it once. Dad in his 280 on a whitetail at the same distance on factory loads had the same thing happen with about a 4 inch entry would hitting a whitetail bucks rib on the way in. Don't remember what bullet weight he had.
