Woods, you ever tried the hornady XTP in 240GR? I have been using them, with 100 gr of pyrodex behind. While my bullet drop at 200 yards is 10-12" the accuracy is superb at 100 and have taken a big mulie at 130 Yards with this set up, holding tight on him. I have been thinking about going down to 180-190 due to 200 yards shot are a real possibilty for some of my areas, but my experience has been so good both on the range and in game with the XTP and my 50 cal.

Guys who have shot both, how do these 2 bullets compare? What warrants the price difference between XTP vs MZ for deer and a 50 cal ML? Is it whatever shoots the best, only thing you tried, basically why?


thanks
