I'm with Ulzgoroth here, I need to see something concrete before I believe this myth. A quick google search will bring up all sorts of images of deer and other game who have been hit. And while they are dead, and the exit wounds are gnarly, they didn't "explode".

I am also very hesitant about anything that relies too much on the temporary cavity rupturing the body. I am a disciple of Martin Fackler, however.
