    yip but none of them are more than 25-30??? years old..... plastic pointy bits in the end is still a relatively new fandangled idea..... but agree cup n core is traditional...just for me its the older lead tip designs that would wear that label and I still believe for what GPM has described the 140grn hornady interloct should for all intents and purposes be just about ideal..... cannot see any rhyme nor reason for the issue discribed other than maybe needed a wee tweak in place to place said projectile...and furthermore your SST and ELDX (a slipperier shapped SST ) will more than likely compound his issue not improve the penertration as both will open as fast if not faster than the interloct....but both should work just as well if again point of impact is tweaked slightly.
    I for one are very interested to hear where said animals were hit.....and what internal damage was seen......
