I have had them not enter the ribcage multiple shots on the same animal, shoulder minced vitals untouched spine shot to finish.

There is that.... In my case I have had multiple cases of failure to penetrate the vitals of stags, poor bullet choice both in construction and sectional density for the type of hunting used for. Mine all died from better shots (neck head behind shoulder)
I cringe when I see the two bullets recommended for everything.
