All of my shots are quite close-95% are less than 50yards so I have not had any trouble with the MAG opening up and it's wonderful for taking out shoulders.
I have no reservations hunting with any of them, but if I was forced to choose just one, it would be the .430 300g. My $0.02 if you wanted it not.
I know this is'nt a deer but a Locust Tree, it was hit with a 240gr .452 45 cal XTP Mag at a distance of around 50yds. My buddy was in a tree stand and missed the Buck I shot when he hit this tree. A Locust Tree is a HARD Tree and this is what the XTP Mag did to it. I wish I had some pics of the entrance and exit holes the 240gr XTP Mag did on some of the deer we shot but I deleted all the pics I had when I was cleaning up my computer.
