I just made this reply to Corey's thread "top 5 bullets for the avg. hunter" and I was curious to know what everyone's favorite HUNTING bullet.
My #1 choice is the .45 caliber, 240 grain XTP. Here is a 240 grain XTP found in a deer after being shot standing just a bit to the right of broad side about 40 yards away and hit behind the shoulder. The bullet was fond with the core practically touching the jacket on the opposite side above the shoulder just under the skin of the neck. That means the bullet traveled up and to the left after entering behind the shoulder.
It is the only one I have not had a pass through with but not a problem since the deer dropped where it was shot and never moved again. The second photo of the bullet is sitting just about the way it was found under the skin.
It is one awesome bullet in my opinion.
