Just for comparison, here's a couple of pics of the entrance and exit holes from a 168 gr Barnes TSX.

5 point bull elk shot broadside, tight behind the shoulder at about 100 yds from my .300 Weatherby, chronographed velocity of 3290 fps at 10'.

At the shot, the bull turned, took 3 steps, and fell dead.

Top arrow points to the entrance hole in the ribcage, bottom arrow points to the .30 cal hole in the hide.

Exit hole just behind the "off" shoulder. Again the top arrow points to the hole in the rigcage, and the bottom arrow points to a 1"+ exit hole in the hide.
