[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2008884, member: 4191"] Been thinking about that bullet off & on today. I don't think the tip of the bullet could end up being so uniformly mushroomed if it hit the vertebrae. The copper tip is too thin to sustain an impact on bone without some distortion. That tip looks like all it hit was hide and water/muscle. Relatively soft matter/media So I'm suspicious the bullet tumbled shortly after entry, which would indicate insufficient rpms. Are there ANY marks on the sides or butt of the bullet, as if bone contact scarred the surface of bullet? I just can't envision the copper tip looking so uniform after plowing into bone. Pull out a magnifying glass and look for surface abrasion? [/QUOTE]
