On a different forum I was reading their muzzleloader projectile recommendations and they do not favor a Shockwave. They think the XTP style or Barnes Expander are a better choice. They base this on the fact many of the shots are close range and the Shockwave is moving too fast and there is a chance where it could fragment. Then they go on to say that the XTP design hits, enters, and makes a massive wound channel which is more likely to put the animal down on the ground faster.

After reading some of their posts, I was thinking that perhaps the .458 diameter 300 grain Hornady HP would be a good choice. I like the head on that hollow point and with the weight and the larger diameter this might make a good choice. I really do have to get out there and hunt me one of them critters.
