Where was the entrance? The neck?
I don't see any signs of "explosion". I see trauma, and trauma kills..

The problem is that trauma does not kill (quickly nor humanely) on the shoulder. Penetration kills on the shoulder. Neck/head shots are not the best choice for general purpose hunting since they are not easy. After that trip I switched to barnes LRX and Nosler partitions and problem solved.
I hunt tons of auodad in west texas and love my 6.4-284 shooting 147's at 3000fps, knocks em over pretty good, shot this guy at 673 yds last month
6.5 PRC is enough gun. I dropped a good ram at 613 yards using 147 grain ELD-M Hornady bullet. Use it with confidence.

Ok. I don't see a problem personally. I see a dead critter, which is the goal.
You did not shoot it in the shoulder correct? So why reference it? You shot it in the neck and it expired.

We are going next month. The concession we are going to this time has aoudad and nilgia. I'll report on it when we get back.
Sounds like a great trip Steve. Please make sure to post your results. My buddies and I are thinking about a Nilgai hunt for 2024.

Sounds like all you will need Steve is a 6.5 grendel and your 97gr hammer.
It took down a Texas long horn.
