Keeps me able to hunt and retrieve alone!!
Note: yes the 458wm is an excellent deer stopping rifle. I was charged by a fleeing doe a few years ago. When she exited the thicket right at me I placed a 485 fn cast bullet in her neck Chest junction whereupon she hit the ground dead with her entire stomach existing her body through the exit hole. Since the stomach was not penetrated, I think the bullet vacuumed it out. Never seen anything like it. 👍🏼👍🏼

Sir Dennis,
Ah ha. DRTRN deer.
Wish you had a picture of the stomach exit after straight-on neck-chest-juncture frontal shot.
Spinal cord shock or autonomic fainting from vagal nerve trauma along its course down the neck to stomach ?
I would faint too if my stomach suddenly popped out of my body.

Jet Sled. Yep, I am getting the biggest one I can find.
The knobhead buck was a poor fit in my medium:
