Default RE: Your favorite .50 Cal slugs?

IMO: One does not need someone's expensive bullet to kill deer and hogs. Been doing it quite wellsince 2000 using the 240 grain .430 HornadyXTP in the short black sabot or the green Knight sabot. 100 sabots and 100 bullets cost me about 30 cents per shot when i stocked upa couple of years ago. Yep, sometimes the bullets exit and sometimes they do not. Not to matter, the animal usually bang flops if hit right.

This sow was running and quartering away when hit with the 240 grain .430 XTP driven by two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets.There was no exit wound. What you see is the entrance wound. The bullet shredded the liver, diaphram, lungs and heart. The hog jumped about four feet into the air when hit and bang flopped. She weighed just over120 pounds field dressed.

Yep, i did go out and buy those expensive FPB bullets to elk hunt with. I still wanna cry over that.
