Those soft swaged bullets lead the bore terribly when pushed over 850 fps. Sometimes they upon up like a huge hollowpoint, which then greatly limits penetration. In this case the wound path is good, just shallow. Sometimes the front cavity pinches inward and folds into itself and they bore a small hole through. The backwards wadcutters were sorta a thing in the 70's and maybe early 80's. With more experience they seem to be a no-go thing in modern times. Lot's of experienced guys will load a hardcast wadcutter flat face on and even at standard 850 fps velocities they are surprisingly effective. That load is available in factory loads from Buffalo Bore and Underwood.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
