Default 45 caliber 240g XTP Magnum

This morning, this bullet was shot through carpet, plywood, and jugs. Range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.

























The photo shows how the first two jugs are very beat up. The third jug has a hole in, and a hole out. Fourth jug has a hole in, and contains the bullet. The fifth jug is undamaged. The bullet weighs 231.6 grain.

The cannelure on that almost makes it act like a partition. Sure did good.

I know some folks have complained about lack of expansion sometimes on the MAG versions. Seems like it did what it should.

That's the one I use and swear by. I have yet to recover a bullet though but it's no wonder the deer I hit with them don't go very far.
