I had asked a couple weeks ago about bullet/sabot loads in an Omega. When looking at some of the recommended bullets I found HORNADY 45 CAL .452 DIA 300GR XTP and HORNADY 45 CAL .452 DIA 300GR XTP MAGNUM. What is the difference between a plain XTP and a XTP Magnum?
When choosing a bullet, bullet construction makes a huge difference, please see this article on 45/70 bullets:

which is really what we are shooting in our MLers. About same velocity, same bullets, so thing that are truths in the 45/70 world should come over to our world pretty well. Please notice his discussion of bullet construction with regard to penetration. Chap
