Thanks to all. Because of the warm weather I had to go and cut her up last night. I could not believe the damage that cast bullet caused. I sure would have liked to recover it and see what it looked like. The right side where the entrance was it hit a rib bone square and blew a chunk of it somewhere and left about a 1"+ hole. Blood halfway down the rib cage and the back half of the right shoulder. After clipping off the top of the heart it smacked dead center into the left shoulder blade and blasted about a 2" hole through it before exiting out the hide. I mistakenly stated in the original post that the bullet was 370 gr. They are actually 392 grs.when cast with pure lead. My goodness - I wouldn't hesitate to use the load combination on anything on this continent if this is typical of the devastation it causes.
