DF,
As has been stated, at those speeds the front portion is tearing off leaving just the base to exit. The Accubond's are not "too hard" for deer. Look at the entire wound channel to see the story.
That makes sense, as there was tissue damage between the small entrance and exit wounds.
Seems to me, there is more blood flow from entrance/exit wounds when the projectile is fired at 2,800 fps or so, vs. 3,400 fps. I guess hyper vel hits cause tissue shock and trauma such that wounds don't bleed as freely as from lower velocity hits.
I saw this with the .240, shooting an 80 gr. TTSX at 3,600 fps. Lots of blood shot tissue, not much bleeding.
Hyper vel does seem to create its own set of bullet choice/bullet performance issues.
