The mushroom myth. Found under the off side skin from a lung shot. 80 grn Targex. 90 yards. These mythical mushrooms are meant to be the holy grail. Nah. My experience is that bullets perform best when they penetrate enough to be dangerous and fragment. Always get quicker kills and more trauma when that happens - I find bits of jacket and sometimes the lead splattered about. Lethal.
This one didn’t go down at first and then I blew one up though its shoulder. That fixed it. This mushroom was an exception with Targex-I usually do get a more explosive effect.
