Guys,
I have shot approximately 13 deer this season, and only been able to find one of them. I have been using 140grain Silver Bear .308 ammo as seen here.

Silver Bear is supposed to be "soft point" (a la Core-Lokt or Powerpoint or etc.), but it seems to not be expanding. I've been able to find blood for all of these deer, but not able to recover the animals. I'm worried that this Silver Bear stuff may be piercing right through like a FMJ.
All shots have been broadside BTW.
How have your experiences with Silver Bear .308 expansion/hunting been?
