I used XTP's 240 grain pushed by 100 grain of Pyrodex for years and years but for now I'm useing 300 grain SSTpushed by150 grain of 777 to gain a little more down range performance. I have very good results with accuracy with both of these loads. However, every gun and load are different so experiment with yours. I did take 2 deer atpretty good distance this fall in KY with the SST 300 grain, one at 163 yards and the other at 148 yards. Both deer were shot broad side just behind the shoulder (lungs) and didn't go 20 yards and expired.
