[QUOTE="Jared2700, post: 1755164, member: 102752"] Oh I forgot to say that the deer was on the move when he shot, and was about 475 yards. He also stated that he thinks you could shoot the deer through the front shoulder and kill it. I once had a deer tag that I wanted to shoot my pre-64 264 feather weight Winchester that I had just bought and all I had was some 140 grain Sierra's that were match kings I had loaded up. Ended up shooting two different deer, with the first one making it to another hunter who also shot it putting a really big 4x4 down that I had already shot. Needless to say he ended up with the buck. I ended up getting a nice size 2x2. Had I had better bullets I would of had that buck. It was lack of penetration that was the problem. The 2 point I shot was a direct hit at 100 yards in the shoulder. Shrapnel was in the adjacent side but didn't go through all the way. Followed up by a neck shot for the final shot. Hope this helps. Good luck with your hunt. Make sure not to move toward your deer until you are sure it's down. That way if not you could follow up with a second shot. That is how I lost the 4x4. I thought it was down, and it got back up as I was head across to him. It was a real bummer. [/QUOTE]
