[QUOTE="sydleier, post: 445611, member: 21777"] Eric Thanks for your very thorough response. I think I should clear up one thing about my cow kill. What I called a 6 inch entry hole was actually on the inside of the chest cavity basically removing a large section of the sternum and a few ribs as the bullet entered the chest cavity. There wasn't a large surface wound, it seems the bullet penetrated about an inch into the chest then exploded as it passed through the sternum. I also agree with you that this probably would not have happened on a broadside shot. Also I didn't mention that as the cow stumbled 30 yards she left behind a blood trail that looked like it had been made with a garden hose, so the bullet still caused plenty of trauma for a clean kill. All in all I was very happy with the performance of the bullet, I just posted to see if anyone else was having similar results. I mean 2 out of 3 animal shot never left their beds. Thanks for the advise. [/QUOTE]
