I thought barnes penetrated more than anything else? I guess you could eat "all the way up to the hole" though.

Could have been de bullet tumbling upon exiting, due to the loss of angular speed, the base breaking through the skin, and the bullet being trapped by the wide mushroom.
I have seen it twice, once with a TSX and the second time with a RN Core Lokt.

I think its fake. That bullet would fall out in a minute of it walking. Even arrows come out .

Maybe it expanded just enough for the hide to hold it in?

I'm thinking it is fake.
I copied the picture down to my computer and enlarged it and the rifling on the bullet and it appears photoshopped because the rifling mark goes past the end of the bullet onto the boattail section.

That upper bullet with the pedals broke off, sure look like they have rifling through the boat tail

One of only a couple of TSX bullets I've ever recovered. 184 lb Axis (live weight) Shot at +/- 75 yds. 140 Gr. TSX out of a 7mm-08 @ +/-2,800 FPS, IIRC (velocity). Entered the left front shoulder. I found the bullet under the hide on the right flank. I'd say at least +/- 36" penetration. Ya! GWB

That bullet stuck in the hide is shiny like a new penny. No discoloration from weathering etc. No powder burn on the base either

That’s as phony as the NCIS show that had a murderer killing people with frozen hamburger bullets.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Definitely an odd deal.
If it had expanded even slightly and tumbled I suspect the First Lite crew would have noticed and made that remark, and I'd suspect the base would be bent or divoted due to hitting bone or whatever it was that made the bullet tumble, though you can only see one side of the bullet. The rifling mark looks legit to me, but I didn't blow it up and that's only a cursory glance at it. With deep lands I could see rifling marks being on the very beginning of the boattail like the pic shows, but again that's only from a cursory glance at it.
The bullet does look suspiciously new and shiny but I've recovered bullets without obvious burn residue on the base before. It isn't unheard of.

That was my first thought.. I would say it definitely did not pass through something? Would be interesting to see the whole bullet. Definitely an odd deal.

My cousin shot a Nilgai a couple weeks ago and the Barnes Expander looked just like that hanging out of the offside of his chest. It apparently opened and tumbled to exit base first but the expanded petals hung up on the hide. A buddy shot a Roosevelt on Afognak once and caught a 300gr XLC from his 375AI in the same fashion.
I say there’s an entry hole somewhere they overlooked. If it had bled off so much speed that it wouldn’t penetrate any further than that it wouldn’t have expanded enough for the petals to hold it from falling out.
