I had nearly the total oppisite results on a smallish bull the bullet tore through and I feel the bullet did not expand as much as I would have liked...Quartering away at about 75 yards behind the right hind rib and bullet exited through at the base of the neck. punched the heart and he looked like he had garden hoses leaking blood from both holes. But the bullet did not expand and impart any trama..Took another round through the heart again before he finally fell over.
Critters and bullets....fickeled things indeed.
