Yeah, would have loved to see a slow motion camera shot of it springing back.

I skinned a moose a few years ago which had no hole in the offside hide, but a finger-sized hole right under the hide. What happened to the bullet? I sure studied that hide thinking I was missing an unseen perforation. Finally I stuck my finger into the hole in the shoulder and felt the bullet with my finger tip. It’s pretty obvious that that hide can create some ‘bounce’.

Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
