Read the following story and see if you would agree. I think the X bullet failed to stabilize causing the keyhole wound , I am thinking a branch isn't going to deflect a 375 with a less than 50 yards shot. A branch that size would be very visible when aiming for that shot anyway. Maybe it tipped a bone causing the deformed tip the hunter described. Regardless I think the hunter was unaware of what really happened and was lucky to recover that buffalo without a charge or losing him.
