What bullet and impact velocity?

75 gr ELDM, about 3090 per Revic app at a whole 45 yards. Had a pencil hole that poured blood out when picked up and his neck/spine was 100% completely severed but no exit at all. Every bit of that bullet hit vertebrae. Didn’t take pics but a surprising amount of the neck meat was just fine.

Maybe video will work:

Yeah man those shots can be devastating depending on angle. My wife shot a doe this year, she was looking at us with nose up sniffing us. The 80 ELDX went it and didn’t exit either. Doe acted like she was struck by lighting.

I’ve seen a bunch that shoot them well. Haven’t tried them in mine.

How much is to be gained with the 88 elds vs the 77 tmk out of a 22-250 inside of 400 yards? I’m close to pulling the trigger on a 22-250 that I will probably convert to a gt when barrel is done but I’ll be a little disappointed if it wont shoot the 88’s as I already have a RSS shooting the 77tmks

I’ve never been a fan of a side profile neck shot but now in two weeks I’ve taken two mature whitetail bucks with throat shots with them facing me at short range and it’s almost quicker than lightning. High shoulder has been on my mind with this 22 Creed as I learn it and work on trusting it but just so happens I was given two picturesque throat shots and I’m not sure why I’d venture from it. Not much room for error but with one of these super low recoil laser beams at short distance why not. Definitely one of the most fun rifles I’ve ever had. Bullet goes where you want it to and you get to see it go there. I’m fully on the 22 bandwagon.
