...by how fragile a bullet actually is, while still inflicting an emmense amount of damage (or at least dumping a lot of energy).
This was full of water, it was shot with a Sierra 55 gr SPBT .224, from our Rem .222 at 25 yds at around 3000fps (Red has all them details, in case I messed em up).
When struck by the bullet, the cannister (we wouldn't want to use a shortened name) did a few flips, but did not travel far (6" at the most, no spinning or yipping, even though gutshot) the majority of the water inside turned into a "white mist".
Not a small entry wound, and amazingly (to me) not a single fragment even touched the exit side of the victim. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Since the cannister market is based upon weight, and the market tends to be a bit flooded in the heat of summer, this pelt will still fetch a handsome price of nearly a penny with or without the skin damage. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that!

Full body mount or rug is out of the option, butyou might get a decent shoulder mount.

Water is not flesh and bone. Many major differences.
