So now the "bad news" regarding my buffalo.
While that bull died very quickly (we didn't get a death bellow and he evidently died in mid-stride...all four legs facing backwards and lying on his chin), the bullet did not perform as designed.
The skinners found the remains of the bullet in the lungs, and it weighed a mere 327 grains...59% weight retention. More like what I would expect from a non-bonded bullet.
I sent the below pics to Woodleigh and Geoff commented that it appeared as though the bonding failed. I have to agree.
