    so reading that...I would think he had been using a really fragile explody projectile all those years ago.... we have all heard tales of bullets exploding on outside of shoulder...personally Ive only seen it once and entirely my fault,shouldnt have been using that load on that animal a 110grn hp varmit in .270w on fallow yearling.still have the skin here and remember it like yesterday.hit fair in shoulder,animal dropped and screamed (still haunts me ,only time ever heard deer do it) reloaded and put 130grn norma through same place,instant lights out. I know it went through same hole as there is no other hole in skin.
    that same 110 was dynamite on wallabies.....still is,just dont try it on anything bigger.lesson learnt.
    wasnt fault of bullet...was wrong tool for the job.
    Rated M for Magnum and JohnQT like this.
    75/15/10 black powder matters
