"If I was shooting your rifle, I would get a pack of Thompson Center 240 grain Mag Express w/sabots and a pack of Hornady XTP's 300 grain with sabots. Shoot about 80 grains of your Pyrodex RS or P and get sighted in and set. The 300 grain shoot real good out of my Wolverine."

Bingo!!! The XTP bullets are real good deer killers. With one possible exception, i've never used the XTP/Mag. bullets, but they get really good reports.

i would not use that 230 grain bullet on deer or hogs: Me thinks it is a .45 automatic bullet.
