The only bullet failure I have ever experienced was with a 168grn NBT on a small buck at 120yds. The bullet entered between two ribs and exited between two ribs, never expanding. I lost the trail in a swamp at night. Being 90 degrees out, recovery the next day was just going to be for peace of mind. I found the deer 400yds from the stand laid out on some cypress knees. I had to look for the entrance and exit, both perfect .308" holes. It was an anomaly as I've used the NBT in various caliber and weight with tremendous results.
I've seen 4 CorLoct "failures" in the last 3 years. All resulted in dead animals just not recovered for a harvest. All three had shed the jacket in the hide and fragmented lead beyond. They killed the animal, just not quickly, so, technically they still didn't fail.
