damage

I once killed a deer at about 450 yards with a 7mm Rem Mag shooting a 150 grain bullet. The bullet exploded the lungs. It stopped inside of the far shoulder. The deer flipped over backwards and slid down the hill a little. I watched him through my scope to see if I needed a follow up shot. He never flinched, apparently dead before he hit the ground. When I skinned him I found that the far shoulder was completely destroyed. The muscle was about 40% jello and pretty much seperated from the bone. This was not in the wound channel, the bullet didn't go that far. If the bullet had gone through it wouldn't have dumped all of energy inside the body and wouldn't have done that kind of damage.
