Hunting deer, and hogs. What are the best hunting bullets?
I have used 240 grain XTPs for years in my muzzleloader and my .44 mags.
I have only lost one deer out of the thirty or so that I have shot with them and that was poor shot placement on my part.
I've got some of Mike's handloaded 240 Grain XTP's. I haven't killed a deer with them yet, but they sure shoot good in my Ruger Redhawk. At the range last year, I put my last 3 shots touching at 25 yards. Now, I just need a fat doe to cooperate by coming out on my left side and standing broadside long enough for me to draw and shoot.
And when she does, that load will lay the SMACK down on her!
