    well it sure as heck left all its energy in the animal.....cant ask for better expansion than that.
    25 yards is a hard one for projectile choice.....if its a super softy designed for ultra long range it COULD blow up but as many on here will attest to,animal should still fall over,shot through ribs only into lungs it should fall over very quickly and be messy.
    flip that and use a hard projectile to get full penertration up close and it may fail to expand enough and definately will do so at any range when velocity drops.
    PERSONALLY I think that projectile did a very good job.Ive recovered 180grn rn hornadies from animals at same range and they didnt go anywhere either.
    shot placement is rather important...people tend to forget this simple fact.
    enjoy your venison.
