I wonder how he could tell what cartridge it was based on the bullet?
I hate to ask, for fear of sounding like a jerk, but do you have a picture? Mine is more of a, that sounds really cool post than the pics or it didn't happen.I've seen that as well. My dad tried to put down a deer with his .45 Glock using HP ammo. I have that deer's skull plate with a .45" dent in it.
I have provided photo evidence on this site and still called a liar by a member on this forum before.

I believe you this happened, but this doesn't mean anything conclusive about the effectiveness of either caliber...I don't like being called a liar. I hit a deer, two deputies arrived to write a report. The first tried to shoot it with a .45 acp and it failed to penetrate the deer's skull. The second attempted with a 9mm and was successful.
I used to shoot old junk cars with the .45acp loaded with ball/fmj.. it'd bounce off the glass and panels like crazy. The 9mm would hole them both sides.
That is cool. What is interesting to me is looking at that and seeing how the bullet kind of punched through the first layer of bone. It looks like the spongy bone in the middle must have acted a bit like a crumple zone in a car. Very cool. I may have to attach a pic of my great uncle's lucky penny. It became his lucky penny after it deflected a bullet.I have provided photo evidence on this site and still called a liar by a member on this forum before. But, your request is a reasonable on, so:

Bullets can do random weird things, we also dont know if the 45 cop aim was on. Skulls are round and are known to defelect. Ive heard many urban legends about Grizzlys deflecting 30-06 off their skulls with a direct hit...
