entrance/exit wound myth?
This may be kind of elementary, but out of curiosity, I always hear people saying most bullets ,especially bigger calibers go in small and make huge exit wounds. Does anyone else think this is a myth, like knocking a deer back or down w/ a bullet? IME shooting game w/ 3006,308,7mag,12ga slug,44mag, and 50cal MLs is, the entrance hole is always bigger, Im guessing due to the initial expansion of the bullet under the hide on impact. Sometimes I cant find a exit wound, but when I skin the animal, Ill find a small hole w/ hardly any blood around it and a even smaller hole in the hide where the bullet came out. Even on broadside shots w/ heavy bullets, the exit hole looks barely big enough for the bullet to go through. Does anyone disagree or get a different result?
