Ron,

sounds like your 12 bore slug double does exacly what it is supposed to. I also shot a whitetail earlier tonight. Not much worth mentioning in that... just harvesting some meat for the family. It was a button buck standing in 25 meters, and I shot it from a hide. Well, actually, there were two notable things.

For the first time I used my suppressed .45-70 singleshot with subsonic ammo (520gr RN cast lead bullet, 315 m/s or 1033 fps). It was the cleanest hole through a deer that I have ever seen. Clear lungshot and the buck ran some 70 meters.

Blood in the first tracks told me that it's not far, so I fetched our young terrier from the house and we "tracked" those few tens of meters. The bitch was SOOOOO proud as she found her first deer

What action did you use on building this .450 #2 double?

Regards,
Saku
