I know of three animals that we have taken with .45 cal 300 grain Xtps mags , all three were complete pass through. One was a elk shot in the base of the neck at 110 yards using 95 grains of ffg loose , one was a deer also a neck shot at 80 yards using 100 grains of ffg loose , and last Thursday a friend shot his elk at 142 yards using 90 grains of ffg loose . The 142 yard shot on the elk did not hit any bone and the entrance and exit holes were almost the same size , very little blood trail , but the elk dropped with in 50 yards. The two other animals , the bullets hit the spine and the exit holes were three times the size of the entrance . I buy my bullets and sabots now in bulk and save a little $$. I have been very impressed with the accuracy and performance that we have experienced so far with the XTP bullets.
