Hi SAS, sorry for the late response... been busy!
Nothing was hit on the way to the target. MV was 2,820-ish. Plenty fast. Velocity or stabilization were not the issue. It's a 150 after all. The shot was straight on (no hard angles, other than I was shooting downhill on a gradual slope).
IMO, what happened was on impact (impact was on the scapula) the nose pinched closed causing the bullet to tumble. I found it in the off shoulder facing backwards.
Everyone who's shot a lot of hollow point bullets has seen them do weird things and essentially these are just over-sized hollow-points, plastic tip or not.
Hope that answers your questions.
