    It was mushroomed and it would not pull out. We had to cut it out. The knee was in fine working order with no swelling or infection.
    Not FMJ. 7.62 x 39?

    I do believe it was shot at extreme long range and just ran out of energy.

    Would probably not have expanded at velocity low enough to not damage the bone? my pick is passed threw another animal in a mob and lodged in its knee already expanded.

    Just a guess tho.
