I don't know about you guys, but I love ACTUAL bullet performance and terminal effects. So let's see those recovered bullets. Please include:
Caliber
Weight (Starting and Recovered [If you know])
Bullet Type (TSX, TBBC)
Range of the Shot
Velocity (if you know it)

I have one:
Caliber: 7X64 brenneke
Original Weight: 10.3 g (160 grains)
Recovered Weight: 5.56 g (86 grains)
Weight loss: 46 % (no bone hit, only soft tissues, bullet recovered under skin; according to commercial announcement, it should have been 1 %)
Bullet type: RWS EVO
Range: 33 yards (driven hunt shot)
Velocity @ 33 yards: theorically about 2723 fps
Target: 200 pounds wild boar, still ran 200 yards + before dying. The boar was quartering away at full speed; bullet hitted on the left rear quarter and went through from rear to front right quarter, hitting the lungs in its way)
Same day, same place, 30 minutes before, I had shot that 265 pounds doe at about the same range and that one was dropped dead in her tracks with the same bullet (better placement: perpandicular lung shot, just under spine), it didn't went through but I've not recovered it.
I have now changed caliber and bullet type, for something that would surely go through the target.

160gr TSX 7mm Rem Mag est. velocity of 3050 fps.
Smashed into the rear leg of a WT buck running away, broke femur, penetrated guts, lungs/heart, broke a couple of ribs, entered the offside front leg, broke the humerus, and was found against the hide by the neck. DRT is an understatement 
Here's the deer (the one on top):

One of those boring old .30 cal 180g Nosler Partitions from my .300 RUM. Not sure of size/weight, etc. Pulled from a cow elk shot at 320 yards or so IIRC. Routed through the hide, ribs, lungs, stuck just inside the hide on the opposite side.
