Any one had this before

Customer pulled a 243 head out of a pigs shoulder complete, not a boar but a young gilt,
I pulled a 100gn Sako 243 bullet from the inside of the hide of a fallow following a h+l shot.
Heart and lungs were blown to bits, but only a 6mm entry wound and zero blood trail.
It’s why I don’t like shooting fallow with a 243 if it’s an engine room shot.
 
I should have said it was on the outside pointing in, only just broke the skin, pig was dead.
 
I'm surprised you even hit the fox. Slowed right down and paused at the split second where the shot was released, the crosshairs were not even on the vitals of the fox. Which suggests to me that this bullet came apart prior to hitting the target and tumbled in your favour, went high and hit the fox fatally. Had the bullet held together and performed properly (assuming your rifle is not zeroed 4-5 inches high) then i suspect you would have hit the inside of the fox's right foreleg or even below the brisket area. I might be wrong but it looked a poor shot yet the animal fell straight over. Something odd is going on there.

It a thermal clip-on so nobody but me or the person who pulled the trigger see the in this case red dot which is the ret of the scope
The cross you see is a overlay
Admittedly dose need a little adjustment 👍🏻
 
Just looked and I think you are 100% correct 👍🏻
You could do that 50,000 times and not be able to repeat it!!! It’s like my luck when I drop my keys, they are guaranteed to bump off my boot, bounce onto something else, roll under the middle of the car where the cat will playfully flick them under to the other side where a pigeon will pick them up, fly 20yds and drop them into a drain that’s smaller than a key could fit through, and whose latch was welded shut so cannot be opened.
