[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2929402, member: 94556"] Very good account of high impact velocity wounds of the 110 gr 257BD2. The pics show that the petals do shed at these very high impact speeds but do so just before exiting. The liver sustained very heavy damage indicating the bullet went through it with petals deployed. One has to remember that a shot that far back also took out the diaphragm and probably also hit one or both lungs. The bleeding from the liver was extensive but not as catastrophic as a heart shot, and will not drop the blood pressure nearly as fast. Also, there is not going to be the creation of a tension pneumothorax because the air leaking into the chest cavity from the lungs also leaks into the abdominal cavity and is not trapped under pressure in the chest cavity. Some tracking will be needed. [/QUOTE]
