[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2313467, member: 26820"] I have a theory that animals that are shot through the heart tend to die more slowly and bleed less than just a double lung shot. The heart's purpose is to circulate blood. When it's not pumping, there isn't really any pressure to keep the blood moving so it just sits in their body unless the bullet holes are in areas where gravity is able to help. Impact velocity would be good to know to help make an educated guess on what the bullet did inside. My guess is it separated though. Potentially it tore off chunks of flesh/organ and pulled it along until the hide caught the chunks but let the bullet out. Combine that with no heart forcefully pushing blood through the body and that might be the answer. Just a guess, and likely not a good one. Edit, I see you just posted the velocity. That's not terrificly fast, I'm leaning towards it stayed together. [/QUOTE]
