speer and hornady 45 cal,451. with a mmp sabot are the only bullets i have used in the last 15 years for hunting ,buy them a 100 at a time and get the sabots the same way you will save enough money to get the powder for free. I have tried the 44 bullets but the 45 work the best for me. I first bought speer185 and 200 gr.hollow points with 90 gr.s of powder. Killed a bunch of good deer with them and then wild hogs moved into my area so I started using 300 gr.speers and a little more powder.This year i got a tc omega with a 28 in'' barrel,this gun shoots 230 gr.xtp hollow points with 150 gr.of loose 777. like I always wanted a ml to do. Any thing that stops in front of it i can hit, out to 220 yards. The bullet drop at 200 yards is 15 in''. at 150 yards it only drops a inch or just a little more. At 100 to point blank just put the crosshairs where you want the bullet to hit. I have never bought any thing else that groups as good as the 230 gr. xtps. A box of 100 cost about $12.00 and a 100 mmp sabots cost me $10.00,thats about as good as it gets.I have ordered a mold that makes 230 gr. bullets out of pure lead. can't wait to pour up a few 100.
