It's probably both. We're talking about a .177 diameter bullet that might expand to a whopping .20-ish diameter. WOW. Whether it expands or not, it still punches a small hole and over penetrates much like a FMJ, hence the multiple accounts here of the running wounded. How thick do you suppise a fox's chest cavity is, maybe 4" across? So my theory is that the 20gr goes half way thru a fox before it expands, and the expansion is minor, then it exits.
You gonna keep tossing insults my way or do you have anything useful to add? You got any more of that sausage left cause I have a suggestion of where you can put it.
