Yes I did think that it would have passed through, even going lengthwise like it was. Perhaps a heavier one would have. A Barnes TTSX would have probably, but then they don't do the damage that these do either and are less emphatic. Maybe the Hammers have a nice balance. Just conjecture though, but interesting.

The damaged meat doesn't worry me much. Tissue displacement and trauma are a larger part of the quick death equation than so called "shock" in my book. Nothing is certain but its interesting mucking around with these bullets.
