[QUOTE=nchawkeye;3816936]The 240gr XTP in .429 has been used since the beginning of the inlines and has done very well...The reason I went to the .429 in 300 gr is because of the great ballistic coefficient...It's very close to the 250gr SST which I used for a few years...I wanted that higher coefficient for hunting over our soybean fields down east but also wanted to move to a hollow point design to help the bullet open up...At the lower powder charges my gun likes the SST didn't expand well on lung shots...

NCHawkeye, do you have BC data on the .429 300 gr XTP's?
