I you could detail the circumstances in which that happened it would be helpful for discussion.
i.e.: impact velocity, cal., weight,target media, along with maybe a photo of the pancake... grin

BTW have you before seen this image of .416 bullets through water buckets?..

[Linked Image]

L > R: 400 Barnes X, 400 NF, 400 TBBC, 400 Woodleigh.

But more important than water buckets,the late George Hoffman had an extensive collection of .416 AFs recovered from cape buffalo.
His measurements typical indicated an average .80 - .85 in expanded dia. and 90% weight retention.



Great recovery pictures. Thank you for posting them up.
