I had always thought that sabot bullets were more accurate than conicle bullets, and had better ballistics.
I really do not think, and rember i am a sabotshooter, I really can fire the Bull Shop conical as accurate as i can my favorite Noslers on paper, but in a hunting situation that we face out here in the west - I will take a Nosler of Sierra SPBT all day.

There are now ML bullets with the Plastic( polymere) tips that really rise the BC of larger bore bullets - they are ballistically superior to any conical and rival some modern centerfire bullets, but I question their short range performance shot at the velocities they need to be shot at to be a 200+ yard performer. i still hang in there with the the time proven amd personally proven lower class bullet.For me in the rightcircumstances a 200 yard shot is not a problem, but you have to remember I am coming from a 300 win mag and/or a 270 - heck with them a 200 yard shot is like shooting in your back yard.

My reccomendation to you still remains a 260 grain Nosler Partiton but if I knew for sure you could shoot a 10mm 200 grain Hornady XTP accurately from a White bore that is whatI would shoot deer with. From myWhite I can shoot the lights out @a 100 with the 10mm but @ 200 they fall off... the 260 does not.

Once you hit the chest cavity with a Nosler and see what it does you will see what I mean.

Hey good luck on you hunt...wish I were going - come north one year and hunt some whitetails up here with your White...
