Default Here’s a scenario

So my hunting partner this year shot a large wt buck from the front with a 6.5 Creed 147 gr bullet. Distance was approx 100 yds. The bullet went thro the esophagus, and pulverized the spine causing instant death. The bullet did not exit the animal. I did not recover the bullet, it must have stayed in the minced spine somewhere. I butchered the animal and saw the result. But it was a whitetail. I personally find it hard to believe that a 300 WM with identical SD would do identical damage. Personally, I would expect that whitetail to have been virtually decapiated using a 300 WM. Do these numbers prove me wrong?
