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.
Holy Cow! I have a box of 100 .451 XTPs in 230 grain and another 100 box of 185 gr .451s.
The worst news! I'm going hunting in about 4 hours.
That leaves me with my Buffalo SSBs 285 grain and 230 grain 451s Speer Gold Dots. My shot practice is late this evening in Michigan's forest. The Gold Dots are an auto-45 bullet too. I wonder if they are bad news for up-to 100 yards? Maybe I better bring my 460 gr. No Excuse conicals with me.
Your post was perfectly timed and thank you for that. I plan to hunt a hill tomorrow morning and may need a shot up-to 100 yards.
