I gotta question the bullet on that 45-70..........jacketed, not real heavy, at 'HV'?

here's a pic, hopefully it's sent correctly (i'm not tech savvy, will try again if I botched it).

it sent, also that flap of skin that's open is NOT an exit wound, the bullet DID stop there? but the goop and bone chunks made it really hard to tell what's what so I pulled up the skin and tried to find it that way.  after getting him skinned I found out that the bullet is stuck in that leg, which I need to dissect still to find it.  I'll post the bullet pics and retained weight later if this post isn't dead by then.  good hunting, better hunting with a handi.

That's a heck of a nice buck Squib. I'd like to connect with one like that this weekend.
Wish me luck. ;D

good luck spanky!  I cut off that whole leg/shoulder and stripped most of the meat and goop out of it.  I couldn't tell what was what.  I thought about putting it all in a crock pot and straining it after "dissolving" the meat but decided against making that mess to find the leftover(s) of the bullet. 

any other good killshots?
