Let's remember Charlie Kirk for who he was.

I would argue that a 150 grain 30-06 could do something like this. That's a pretty popular deer hunting round, and I don't know that it would go through a vertebrae. Certainly wouldn't almost decapitate him. 220 grain would probably exit I think, but again it wouldn't almost decapitate him. There really isn't enough in the neck to go flying everywhere.
That's just me guessing from decades of hunting deer, elk, and bear with a 30-06. I don't do neck shots though.

heres a 30-06 hitting a ballistic gel head with skull inside it.
blows the thing completely apart.
if it hit him in the neck, it would have blown a massive chunk out. at minimum.
Nah, those ballistic gels aren't a good analog for that kind of experiment. They blow apart too easy.
