[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 888557, member: 11717"] Yes, but that IS what I a talking about :D Now like I said before, I am not 100% certain the bullet tumbled and did not fragment. But the shape and condition of the flesh exit are not consistent, (from my limited experience), with fragmenting bullet performance AND the fragments that caused the exit hole should have been under the hide and very easy to detect. Maybe they were overlooked, but either they exited the hide with the piece that left the hide exit or they were left under the hide... one or the other. In your case the tumbled bullet left an elongated hide hole. In this case it might have arrived at the hide sideways and stretched the hide while still tumbling until the point or tail punched through. A bit of a stretch :) for an explanation, but from where I am sitting and what I have seen, the best explanation so far. [/QUOTE]
