      Please state your credentials on the matter. I am a hobbyist that has never shot a human but a 30-06 is a big fucking round going really fucking fast and necks are really fucking soft. The entry may be small but that exit is going to be significant. In my opinion.

        Yea afaik for a bullet that size, size and inertia of the bullet can cause damage much wider than the bullet size itself.

        It doesn’t need to hit bone or anything for that… A youtube video can show that on one of those soft blobs.

        My understanding is that the exit will often be big because of the bullet hitting bone and shit, making it flatter and thus destroy a lot more on the way out. The neck is soft and there isn’t much of it. If the bullet didn’t hit his spine, the bullet would be intact, and the exit hole would be pretty tiny.

          Yep, the neck being soft is an argument against gory splatter action. Ballistic gel is soft too.
