Do not use the 230 grain .451 XTP bullet for deer. The old Hornady chart lists the design velocity as 850-1200 fps.

Tracked a lot of wounded deer and elk for other hunters. One evening a hunter shot a huge buck with his Knight rifle loaded with that 230 grain bullet. We found the deer mid morning the next day. The bullet disintegrated and the deer had suffered horribly.
