Default RE: .45 x .40 Cal 200gr Hornady SST

If you want to keep your costs down, get the .50 x .40 crush rib sabots and buy some 200 grain .40 cal XTP's in bulk. The 200 grain .40 XTP is pretty much identical to the .40 200 grain SST/Shockwave, minus the plastic tip. The XTP's drop SLIGHTLY more at long range than the SST/Shockwaves, but for hunting purposes, unless you're shooting past 170 yards I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference. The XTP's have better terminal performance too, at least in my limited experience.
