Even a low velocity round will pass through unless it hits bone. At close range even 9 mm will pass through the head, trust me, I have personally seen plenty. No way a .223 did not pass through everything. The “tumbling” legend is a myth. Supersonic rounds pass a shock wave through the tissue which grows comically as the track progresses. As gas entrained behind the bullet expands explosively the tissue that is shattered by the shock wave follows the round out the exit wound with most of the gas leaving a very characteristic wound. It is easy to tell the difference at a glance. Unless a handgun round struck spine I would not expect to see any retained bullets.
