Killertraylor,

That entrance hole looks to me like the result of blow-back from bone fragments. I've seen similar damage from a lot of bullets that hit shoulder bone, and on occasion the bullet was even a Barnes X.

I've seen a lot of animals killed with Berger VLD's and far more typical is an entrance hole that can hard to locate, with almost no meat damage.
