Bullets do weird things sometimes, that's for sure. I once shot a large (200 pounds) eight point wt at about thirty yards with a 140 grain BT out of a 7mm RM. All that was showing out of the brush was the head and neck and I hit center neck, perfectly broadside. The deer dropped so fast he was upright when I got there, his legs folded under him and his antlers pitched forward and stuck in the ground. I walked around to the off side to turn him over and saw a little spot of blood high on the off side shoulder. I felt a lump, poked and pried with my knife a little, and there under the hide was my 140 grain BT, now weighing 70 grains. Another time I hit a smaller WT doe high in the shoulder with a 400 grain Speer FNSP out of a hot rod .45--70 load. As expected there was a big entrance, big exit, but when I unzipped her, there was the bullet jacket under the skin of the brisket.
