I'm pretty sure the batch this came from was from a buck I shot head on while still hunting. It was chasing a doe with it's head low...bullet hit the left side of the neck, through inside of the shoulder, skidded along the inside of the rib cage, and ended up with at least one piece of the core in the hip that I found when gutting it...so there was ample room for it to shed lead from the neck to the hip.
Going copper means working up a lot of new loads and the extra cost for bullets, but it seems like a small $ to pay....
