Why are you scratching your head on that one?
7 Rem. mag. at 25 yards= quite high velocity at impact= more bullet expansion = less penetration = no exit wound = very little or no blood loss.

Because, even if the bullet only retained half of its weight, it would still be a 75 grain slug traveling at 3000fps. It should be able to go through a broadside doe.
It doesn't work that way... It no longer is shaped like a bullet, and that = poor penetration nor will it travel in a straight line.
