When field dressing and skinning, we can see the damage that has been done. Exit holes are very impressive. We shoot into a backstop of sawdust and have recovered the bullets from the magnums in there. They all look like the pics from the brochures. The 308 Win bullet was actually recovered from a deer and it was the perfect mushroom. It had no trouble opening up inside the deer at modest velocities. It was a braodside shot, behind the shoulder.
