There are several XTP bullets that are suitable for hunting deer and hogs.
1. The 240 grain .430 XTP:
This bullet has killed many dozens of deer and hogs for me. Many were bang flops.
2. The 300 grain .430 XTP:
Killed a couple deer and a few hogs with this one. None of them went more than a few yards after being hit.
3. The 240 grain .452 XTP Magnum:
Designed for higher velocities, this one will usually exit.
4. The 250 grain .452 XTP:
5. The 300 grain .452 XTP:
Does a good job on large hogs.
6. The 300 grain .452 XTP Magnum:
My .50 Encore is sighted in for this bullet. So far this fall i've killed four deer and several hogs with it. Shot a gnarly 275-300 pound boar hog through the shoulders with the .452 XTP Magnum bullet driven by 140 grains of Triple Seven. It ruined all the meat in both shoulders and kept going. Range was about 75 yards.
Do not use any of the .451 XTP bullets on deer or hogs. They were designed for .45 auto velocities.
i have never used the smaller caliber XTP bullets on game or hogs.
