RE: Heavy or light?
for deer,in the 50 cal inlines i use 45cal .451 230 gr xtp hp and 300gr speer plated soft points. both rounds are matched with the black mmp sabot. sometimes thextp hp stays in them/blows up if you hit backbone or goes on through. the 300gr bullets just smash a good hole all the way through no matter where you hit. if i could learn to keep up with the 300gr softpoint from point blank to 250yards i would use it all the time but i can't. so i use the one that i can keep up with. for hogs i use the 300gr or bigger and make short shots. next week i will be hunting the swamp area and all my shots will be under 100yds so i will use a 300 gr bullet and push it with 140grs of t7, i saw a good boar there and if i get the shot i don't want to try tracking him into that swamp.
