Here is the bullet found laying on the trail when I retrieved my cams today. Not real impressed with the Barnes tmz. Both entry and exit holes same as bullet dia.

Seems weird that it didn't mushroom more, especially since it hit bone.  The bullets are favorites of many, many hunters.  It did the job for you, but I agree, there should have been some substantial internal damage and a large(r) exit wound.

It looks as if most of the petals folded in the bullet instead mushrooming
