What does the frontal area of that bullet measure ?
I also find it odd that this bullet did not exit.
This was not a bullet failure because it did it’s purpose in fairly short order.
However I would like and expect more expansion and penetration at that yardage with that bullet ??

Although the bullet didn’t expand as well as expected , it still penetrated deep enough to do its job.

Unfortunately sometimes when non mono bullets fail they expand to much or to quickly and never drive deep enough to do there job .

Which one is the bigger failure ?
I wish each was better, but I like the dead animal.
