First one went about 20 yards and the second one maybe 30. One heart shot...made me mad as I use this awesome piece of meat for breakfasts...the second was shot in the neck. Dont think I will do that again as fragmentation was nasty. Lots of meat in the freezer though and it works great.

Yeah, not much tracking required. You must be flinching, :roll: .. all mine seem to sprawl out right there where I shoot them . :mrgreen: The last neck shot I took, my brother proclaimed it a CSI investigation scene... I won't make another one either. I have found the double lung shot quite effective.

A miracle!! A dead deer, with a 450b neck shot going 30yds!! Somebody didn't tell that deer to lay down and die in it's tracks, I reckon.

I killed a little buck last week and I swear, it went exactly feet straight up in the air, right where it stood, didn't even twitch slightly. It was right smack on my range at the 175yd apple tree. The factory fodder traversed the entire body coming out of the off side ham..t

I got my first one with my 450 Sunday after Thanksgiving. Walked 30 yards like nothing happened, then dropped dead on the spot :)
