[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2730051, member: 94556"] Yours is a superb and well documented account of the shot. To me it appears as though the bullet at entering caught over half the rib. The surviving expansion pattern suggests exactly what you observed. That damage to the liver and lung looks very extensive, and the off center attitude of the expanded area suggests a considerable impact with the rib bending the distal shank a bit. Very likely this caused the bullet to tumble some as it passed through the lung and liver accounting for the damage and leading to more energy loss in that path. You did, however get full organ penetration which is what counts. Great job! At what altitude were you? [/QUOTE]
