re: The .30-06 conspiracy theory is the theory with the most legs.

Damn good analysis and breakdown.
Penetration, weight retention and expansion are critical for good bullet performance.
That’s why I shoot nothing but Barnes Bullets.

Here's why- The type of bullet. Was it FMJ? Hollow Point? What was the grainage? Powder type and quality. A poorly powdered round with light grain, and a number of tip types would 110% explain the no exit wound.
I have a friend that shot a deer in the shoulder, broadside, with I a .308 loaded with a Federal bonded hollow point round. The deer dropped immediately, then got up and attempted to run off. He was able to get off another round and luckily shot it in the neck and killed it.
Upon cleaning it, he discovered that the first shot to the shoulder had completely destroyed the bullet and it either just penetrated the shoulder blade or didn’t at all. Either way, it did not fully penetrate the shoulder blade and into the vital organs (either lungs or heart) and would not have been a fatal shot.
Needless to say, he quit shooting those bullets.

Let’s clear up a few misnomers here first.
Bullets don’t tumble, they deflect, usually off of bone.
And a bullets “performance” is determined by its makeup and design.
Most bullets are made of lead, copper, steel, or alloys of these metals and combinations of them. Bonded bullets are usually lead core bullets encased in copper.
You can shoot a 30.06 bonded bullet at a deer’s shoulder and it will break apart after hitting the first or second shoulder blade and not pass through.
Or you can do the same with a solid copper bullet (like a Barnes TSX) and it will blow right through both shoulder blades and out the other side.
Read up on “weight retention” on bullets for more info on penetration of bullets.
Many bonded bullets have poor weight retention due to shedding pieces of the bullet after contact and thus have less penetration.

Thats what all the conspiracy nuts are missing in this. Yall are hung up on the headstamp and old rifle when in reality the construction of the bullet is by far the biggest factor in what happened.
Most of the people talking here know absolutely nothing about bullet construction and performance. :cheers:

Bullets are all different by brand and construction, and perform differently, even in the same caliber and fired from the same gun.
Anyone who hunts large game (deer and larger) knows this.
Cheap hollow point bullets will expand and fragment upon impact, and bonded core bullets will expand and penetrate more depending on the construction of the bullet.
There’s so many different brands and types of bullets on the market, and they all perform differently upon impact.
Unless a “test” is done with the exact same bullets, fired from the exact same rifle, the results will vary.

I’ll rephrase that for you.
“American taxpayers have the money to feed every family, house every neighbor, and guarantee health care for every single person, besides providing for their own families, if we can only tax them more.”

I've also never seen a more poorly laid out city.
And going east to west or vice verse is slow because there’s only Johnston St. north of the river.
So yeah, the layout sucks.

It’s not like they would ever do it again if they aren’t punished for it.

Probably one of the worst vehicles you could possibly pick for a relatively long everyday commute. And that’s not even getting into the reliability issues.
But you’re a woman, so you’ll likely do it anyway, so enjoy.
