The rib going in didn’t break it up, all the pieces were together touching with a bunch of shattered bone fragments from the front of the brisket. Had this deer been broadside not a chance of bullet recovery, just like one my kid shot at 238 last year. Only the angle helped on this deer. The super muley combined with taking out spine down angle from a ridge allowed it to stay in as well. Very few class two critters keep bullets from this cartridge inside them, including eld-m. And just to keep repeating, this is the performance potential I prefer, many want bullets in one piece wherever they may go. I like some carnage with adequate penetration and that’s what this set up does.
