Thanks, Daryl. If I didn't know that was the exit hole I would have guessed entry. The bullet must have mushroomed enough to splatter some of that rib bone back behind it. I thought that was interesting.

Yes indeed, sometimes there is force backwards from an entry. Perhaps this is something similar to a moose I shot a few years back with the little .458. The 350gr. Hornady RN (2,296fps) entered just above his left eyeball, traveled down just about the centre of the brain, exiting the head in the spinal cord of 1st, second and third vertebrae, then exited the neck. This was about a 95 yard shot.

On the ground in front of the moose, was an 8" long 3/4" diameter plug of fatty looking tissue, with blood specs all around it. I picked it up by one end and said "Taylor, look at this!" It (the noodle) appeared to be brain matter that squeezed back out the entrance hole, and gelled as it hit the cool late autumn air.
