RE: Your favorite .50 Cal slugs?

This bullet was recovered from a doe shot facing me with her head down at 80 or so yards. I was ina tree stand and when she dropped her head down to feed I put aimed for the top of her back right where the neck begins and touched it off. The bullet traveled through the neck/spine and entirely through the chest and abdominal cavities. I felt the bullet under the hide on the deer's left flank and cut it out externally
And in reply to your other question, Gold Dots are pistol bullets made by Speer. This is the 300gr, .452 bullet made for the 454 Casull pistol.
