I don't see a petal having the horsepower to travel that far in an animal. I did shoot one in the mouth once with a 300 WM using a 150 grain blue pill of death. Out through the atlas and a petal came off along the way. The petal embedded itself above the pelvis about and inch in. It had to go through hair and hide so it wasn't like goung through lungs, but it didn't go far or do much damage. That's the only instance of petal loss with Barnes I have seen. It takes a lot of energy to turn that sharp and you don't havea lot to work with in the first place. Pretty doubtful to me that a petal did that.
