Cheap AND good bullet?

Try a plain old XTP. Last night I killed a doe at fifty yards. Bullet was a 240gr XTP, packaged as a TC MagExpress. High shoulder hit, deer was DRT - didn't take a step. Shattered all those bones/ribs that come together at the shoulder, and part of the backbone - found bullet under hide in front of off shoulder - perfect mushroom, looked like one of those pics in an ad. Couldn't ask for better performance. It was propelled by 90gr Pyrodex RS in a CVA Buckhorn.

LATER EDIT: Killed a spike with TC CheapShot - they shoot as well as XTPs in my rifle, and appear to kill deer just fine. I'm using them for my next hunt.
