You’re right, thank you! It also only has one hole in it from the entry - the bullet stopped inside the coat on the far side

Tell us more about that bullet!

That’s a .270 Win 134 grain made by Browning. I’ve shot a number of deer, and never recovered a bullet. Where I live the bush is dense so almost all of my shots are close, resulting in a double lung blow through. That being said, this boy was thiccccccckkkkkk. He was within 40 yards when I shot, and still the bullet couldn’t get all the way through. That’s A) a big thick boy and B) a bullet with some serious stopping power. I had a ground blind overlooking a small cliff and he was at the bottom. When I skinned him out (what’s more than quartered? He came out in 5 gigantic pieces) I found the mushroomed bullet lodged in the far side of where I shot underneath the hide. If I was gonna shoot any father than what I did I think I’d consider getting a bigger gun haha. Thanks for asking!
