I forgot to mention yesterday that I found the bullet while I was skinning him. He was quartering slightly toward me when I shot him, so the bullet took a pretty long path from one side of the animal to the other. Consequently, I think, the round had lost a lot of energy when it hit the hide on the other side and, so, lodged there. Here are pictures for any one interested in bullet performance. The round is a Winchester Ballistic Silvertip in .270WSM, 150gr. The shot was from approx. 50 meters. Here is the front of the slug.
