expansion at its best

[drobertson]

stopped by the old work place yesterday, catching up with a few friends, Ron got his buck and retrieved this 30-06 slug while dressing it,  just thought this was a near perfect expansion of the round

Depends a lot on what the bullet/slug strikes first and so forth, 'til it stops.

Hard to tell, but that one does look pretty evenly spread.

Was that buck wearing a Kevlar vest?   :D

No doubt,  well Ron did say it was a front quartering shot, maybe the weirdest shot he's taken :D he said, this one ended up near the rear leg.  Fell ten steps from the shot.

The deer I shot last year we were able to recover the bullet. .308 winchester, 150gr. bullet, and it was also a near perfect expansion and weight retention.
Do you know what type of bullet that was?
Mine was a Federal fusion, bonded core bullet. I was impressed!
I'll see if I got a picture...
