Physics 101, Conservation of Matter.
A 750 gr bullet will continue to weigh 750 grs no matter how large it expands.

This could be a trick question. If shot into wood, the bullet may not shed weight and may pick up some wood imbedded in the lead, so it might weigh 751.5 grains if recovered.

StoneCreek everyone knows that Jimmy Haffa is buried in Grants tomb. It's the only place they wouldn't think to look!

I think that if Overkill doesn't straighten up by fall, a squirrel is going to bury his head.

A 750 grain woodleigh FMJ solid fired into a moose at 2600 fps will exit the other side and nobody will ever know what it weighed.
