Last year I was processing a deer I killed, nice 8 point that was in full rut, and after pulling the front right shoulder out of the ice chest, I flipped it over on the table and out fell a 6mm projectile. The best I tell is the projectile was sitting freely between the right side leg muscle and the actual shoulder of the deer. The projectile weighted 62 grams and had a .48" mushroom.
There was absolutely no sign of an entry wound, either side (see right side pic) and no observed damage to the meat or bone of the shoulder.
I personally used a 120 Gold Dot from my 6.5 Grendel to harvest it and the shot placement was high neck area with a complete pass thru.
For me its hard to believe a deer can survive a 243/6mm with no apparent damage at all. He must have been carrying this for sometime.
