[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2617834, member: 87243"] Personally I really can't see enough to make that assumption, it really just looks like expansion and/or fragmentation of some kind to me. I have seen Bergers, accubond's, Badlands, eld-x's/m's, A-Max's, Speer hot cores.....many bullets that have had oblong entrance holes by the time they hit the ribs. We also recovered a 126 grain .277 bullet from an elk that traveled from the hind quarter to the off side shoulder in a strait path, and also observed a strait wound channel from a 151 7mm that entered at the shoulder of a large bodied mule deer and exited the hind quarter. On another pronghorn, observed a broadside shot that had a center exit hole with several radiating smaller exit holes indicating nose petals creating secondary wound channels. Even if they are tumbling, which I can't say one way or another, they may be, they may not be, what I do know is they are traveling strait, traveling deep, and doing significant tissue damage starting nearly immediately, and continually on their path. Personally, I don't ask much more from a bullet terminally.....unless my observations change on future kills, I *personally* don't even see where it would matter. But, that's just me. My expectations are outcome based! [/QUOTE]
