Over the last 13yrs I shot 25+ deer with my 30-06. Most of my bullets were 165gr hornady btsp, a few were with 165gr nosler ballistic tips. Most only went a few yards, 5 or less, there was one button buck that went about 100yrds, good clean heart shot, died mid stride. I've shot a few deer(4 I think) with a 44 rem mag and hornady XTP 240gr. 3 piled up within 5 yards or so, one ran about 300 yards. It was a good lung shot and an easy track. It looked like someone ran through the brush with 2 bloody 8" paint brushes.

I did track a deer a friend shot for over 400yrds. Talk about a wierd shot. He shot at while it was quartering away. He hit it in the right side rump, the bullet travelled between the skin and the muscle and the exited out the right leg, breaking the leg.
