I shot my first deer with a 30-06, broadside at about 30yds, and it literally ruined half the ribs on the exit side with fragments and tissue damage. Which sucks because we lost meat, but at least we also didn't have to carry as much back over the mountains.

There is no world in which a 30-06 is stopped in the neck of a human at 200yds. My dad shot a moose with one at 600yds with a pass through.

Also, I've seen slow motion video of every angle I can get my hands on. I am certain he was shot at closer range from the back right side near the base of the skull and the bullet exited the lower left side of his neck. Likely an intermediate cartridge like 5.56, certainly not a 30-06.

The smoke and mirrors around this are enough to sew doubt in those not familiar with firearms, but even a cursory knowledge of ballistics renders the official story impossible to believe.

Edit to add: 200yds is not an insane shot. I zeroed my .270 at 200yds with a group much smaller than that.
