One study: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/lead/index.html

This study addressed fragmentation of hunting bullets in sheep to approximate the impact on whitetail deer. It found that lead particles from fragmentation travel further in the body of the animal than previously thought. It also found significant differences in fragmentation depending on bullet type.

It did not draw any medical conclusions as that was outside the scope of the study.
