RE: comparson: powerbelt and xtps
I've killed a lot of deer and dozens of hogs with the 240 grain Hornady XTP. Never had adeer get away;most were bang flops.Woundeda fewhogs and had to goafter them but they all became pork. One hog was probably shot with an XTP Mag: Remember a friend giving me five of them. That bullet went through both shoulders of a very big boar.
Used to usethe 240 grain XTP along with 130-150grains of Pyrodex in my .50 muzzleloaders. Never had a bullet performance problem. One bullet killed two deer.
