JB; Very enlightening! I never would have thought that would be the case, but I know of no instance where I shot through brush and could say conclusively that I had a different experience than what you say.
Were you able to determine what damage the keyholed 338/250 did? I would think it would have hit him pretty hard, even though sideways.
I remember reading about this keyholed 338/250 in something you wrote, and wondering the same thing then. I can't imagine that it didn't do alot of damage...probably not a perfect mushroom, though!
