These are the Barnes 458 SOCOMs in my GMB54 using 120gr and a Harvester 54x45 sabot.
Some internals that came out of the deer. It was found just behind the impact area and looked like part of a lung?

Heart after a .458 300gr SOCOM
Heart after a 50-300 FTX
Both hearts
The bottom one fell to the SOCOM and the middle fell to the FTX..ignore the back blood spot
Ok now this is a Barnes 155gr TAC-XP i was modding by adding a 30gr lead BP 22cal bullet to the hollow point. They shot great on paper so we gave one a try.
Now this shot was over 150 yards away and my buddy never shot a ML this far but i instructed him to aim near the top of the shoulders but it flew a bit flatter than i thought. Besides being high it performed perfect and hit where he claimed he was aiming.
The doe dropped instantly and its easy to see why.
It entered the doe's right side and exited the left.
Ive got a few more bloody pics but thats plenty for me.
Awesome hunt. I tagged out for that area and still can go to work tomorrow IF i feel like it.
