[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 888507, member: 13632"] With high impact speeds on a hard hit like this it can be very, very difficult to find bullet frag. I spent a couple hours mushing through an elk neck looking for bullet and frag with no exit hole, and all I found was two pieces about the size of a ball point pen ball. The best way to tell if the bullet tumbled or opened is the condition of the meat in the hole, tumble wounds will be cleaner through the muscles where as bullet frag removes muscle an leaves a rough ground appearance to the muscle at the edge of the permanent wound channel. The exits on tumbling bullets tend to be long from what I've seen appearing as a tear in the hide. The exit wound he shows is definitely from an open bullet IMO. [/QUOTE]
