The bullet impacted just forward of the front edge of the leg, but did not penetrate through the rib cage.

Instead, it tracked along the exterior of the rib cage and under the front leg exiting behind the leg.


I've seen similar hits/results at my camp, and not with 120 grain 7mm Sierras. Get that angle just right (just wrong?) and it can happen.
