I'm sure this is not uncommon but it bothered me because I know it is not from my bullet as I used a Lehigh (monolithic brass alloy).
So what do I do? Should I confront the processor or just let it pass. Is is common to mix up the ground? This guy is pretty high volume so I guess it could have simply been left in the grinder.
Don't want to rock to boat too much but I would like to know I am eating the deer I harvested. Yes, I know processing my own meat would solve the problem but I am not (yet) in a position to do so.
Could it be that your deer was shot before you shot it.
It has happened before, deer have been found with broadheads in them also.
You never know.
