Whats the difference between the green saboted 240grxtp and the black saboted 240gr xtp?
The difference is that the green sabot is combined with a 44 cal XTP. while the black sabot has 45 cal XTP. If you compare the bullets the 44cal should be a bit skinnier(new word) and a little taller. Those two bullets have probaly collected more animals fro a ML than any other bullet made. Even though I am not a fan of any XTP except the 10mm/200 grain XTP. They have done their damage and will continue to do their damage.

I am looking at using 100grs of tripple 7. So would the heavyer 300gr xtp be better off in my gun?
The 100 grain load will work equally well with either 240 or even a 300 but only your gun can tell you what might be better. You will have to shoot them to find out for sure. Also be aware their are 3different 300 grain XTP's. a .430/300 grain XTP, a .452/300 grain XTP, and .452/300 grain XTP-Mag.
