Congrats on the buck. Not when i put the bullet in the right place. Dropped a big doe earlier this week with the 240 grain .430 XTP that bang flopped. i've killed a lot of deer and dozens of hogs with that bullet. i've never had a hog or deer that was wounded with that bullet get away: Although there have been several memorable long tracking jobs and long dragging jobs when i put the the bullet in the wrong place.

Which 240 grain XTP were you using? In addition to the 240 grain .430 XTP there is a 240 grain .452 XTP Magnum bullet that is much harder. i have no experience with the latter bullet.
