Looks like damage I have seen from various "low velocity" (compared to rifle bullets) impacts with minimal expansion and a blunt bullet profile. If you'd shown me this without specifying handgun, I would have guessed muzzleloader and round ball or a SP sabot or "maxi ball" at extended range.
Looks very similar to any of .357, 10mm, .41, .44 soft point or a HP at longer ranges or short barrel length that I have seen. A caliper to the permanent cavity through the hide entrance hole might rule out a .44, hard to tell from the picture. If the shot was not a pass through, heavy bullet 9mm .357 Sig, .40 SW or .38 Super also comes to mind.
Edit, missed the "reveal" post LOL
