When the bullet hits something, it compresses **a lot**. This causes the outside rim of the bullet to come in contact at a much higher speed than the inner area.

That doesn’t mean you won’t get some fill, it just means the outside area is going to be the most prominent marking, especially after it starts to heal and the bruising begins.
