I have used the Hornady 240 grain .430 bullet on deer and hogs since 2000. Have killed about 20 deer and dozens of hogs with that bullet in the short black sabot. Have recently started using theKnight sabot. Most shots were bang flops and not one animalwas lost. Sometimes the 240 grain .430 bulletexits a100-110pound deer hit behind the shoulders and some times it does not.That may depend on whether or not the bullet hit a rib going in.The bullet very seldomexits the body of a 150-200 pound hog hit low behind the shoulder.

The Hornady XTP bullets are just as accurate as any out there. As a general rule i do not shoot a muzzleloader
at deer or hogs at ranges exceeding 150 yards. Most of my shots have been at ranges of much less that 100 yards.
