Where are a persons dura mater and pia mater?

Dura mater and pia mater are two different layers of connective tissue that surround the brain called meninges. Dura mater is Latin for "tough mother" and is attached to the inner surface of the skull. Pia mater is Latin for "soft mother" and lines the outer surface of the brain. Between the two is a third meningeal layer called the arachnoid mater because of its web like appearance.

The layers go like this: Skin, Fat, Periosteum, Bone; (Meninges Layers): Dura Mater, Anarchnoid Mater, and Pia Mater. The outermost of the 3 meninges is the Dura Mater, so if the bullet stops just outside of the most external meningeal layer, I would think the answer is that it stops after hitting the bone.
