Whats the difference between the green saboted 240grxtp and the black saboted 240gr xtp? I am looking at using 100grs of tripple 7. So would the heavyer 300gr xtp be better off in my gun?
If you want shoot thru yes, the 300g is better. My experience with 250g class bullets is they are under the hide on the off side in most shots. 300g shoot thru, and offer more down range energy. You only loose like an inch at 150 yards in bullet drop between a 250 and a 300, but the gain in shoot thru is significant, especially if shooting down from a stand. Good blood trails, if you hit high in the chest and don't exit, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT to track a deer with that type of hit, even if it only goes 80 yard, you can loose them.
