[corey012778]

one thing has been bothering me since I bought my first pack of 230 gr w/surefire sabots, WHO makes the bullets for t/c for the package. all the research I have not figured it out yet.

TC has several contracts with Hornady and MMP... but that surefire I am not sure who's that is - I really do not think it is a Hornady.... Is that 230 a 44 cal .430 or a 45 .452? Is it a hollow point or soft point??

Well, guess what I just found it on the Hornady site.... It is a .451 Pistol XTP...

45 .451 or .452, packaged with a black sabot it is a Hollow point. I just did a little looking around, only compeny I found that it comes close to what it looks like is SIERRA. I don't think I am right about that. it could be why they did not list the brand on the package too.

am I right or wrong, I only paid $6 for a 20 pack.

just bothers me that if I end up like this bullet, I like to know who makes it so I can buy a bulk of them.

thats funny, why not say it on the package

What about this? Does this look like what you have - I hope not...



Does the 230 have any expansion lines down from the nose of the bullet..

[corey012778]

yes but they are not as deep at the ones on the xtp, but they have 2 long and about 4 short, I can't get them to show up on a pic worth a damn

they look likea Sierra .4515 jacketed hollow point. These are 230 grain and they have the lines you describe.

[corey012778]

now I am worried about using them on deer. I check all the local gunshops. see if they have any xtp, T/C or hornady and 45 or 44 bulk, I have done a little work with 45 out of mmp sabots. grrr, suck that I am low on everything but the 230gr. good thing I need to do some more range work before the season opens.

maybe it's a Berry

[corey012778]

now I have another part of the damn thread, should I go on and sight in with the 230 gr (sierra ?). tuesday is the last day I can get ready for opening of ML. Or should I hunt for the xtps I been using?


How ever I go, I am going find a way to do a expansion test on the 230gr after the end of the season

I checked there site, only thing in a .452 hollow point is a 200 gr, are they all copper? some great prices too.

so I don't think it is them.

I just driving myself crazy over stupid stuff sheesh
