Default 300g 45 caliber XTP

Judging by reports, this bullet has killed a pile of deer. This morning some of these 300g XTP were shot into a light, but swirly breeze. It seemed to me they did well.










Over the years i have kinda stayed away from these XTP, because they, according to Hornady, have a low BC, when compared to the XTP magnums, the Deep Curls, and the Noslers. However, today, they appeared to fly as well, or better than the Deep Curl, and the Nosler. The scope setting was never changed when shooting the different bullets. It should be mentioned, the far left Deep Curl was pushed by the strongest gust of the morning. The furthest left XTP, was pushed left, by a weaker right to left swirly gust. At any rate, since it is in stock, it may very well may be, the 300g 45 caliber XTP is a worthy substitute for the 300g Deep Curl. To my knowledge, no one can find the Deep Curl anywhere.
