I am not much on 45 cal but ML's but I can tell you this... the Hornady 10mm 200grain XTP is a tremendous bullet. You can get the tan MMP sabot for this and you would be miles ahead of your PB (more velocity more enery and a ++ accuracy rating). I am shooting this bullet from a 50 with 110 grains of T7-2f (2100 fps) - it is devastating and accurate. It is also a tough bullet I have not been able to strip the lead from the copper in my tortue tests as I have most any other Hornady bullet. In Idaho we can not hunt (big game) with a bullet less than .428 so I personally have not use it on big game, but Lemoyne on this forum has shot deer and wild pigs with it. He is a beleiver.

I second this. I use this bullet for coyote and turkey-though I would not hesitate to use it on deer sized game. I just choose not to as I like 300+ grainers for Deer. The 10mm 200g XTP holds up very well and you can push them really hard if you so choose. Sabotloder's 110g T7 2f is the same load I use for coyote and it performs beautifully. I hope to do some pig huntin' w/this load next year.
