In the box labeled 50 cal, 300 grain Mag-Express with the black sabots, the bullets were unmistakably .452" XTP-Mags, even though the bullets aren't specifically labeled as XTP-Mags.
The T/C XTP/sabot box labeled 50cal 240gr with black sabots I have here are .452 and weight 240gr. I checked with my calipers and scale. No matter though I know that I like the way the XTP Mag performed so that's what I will used this year instead of the ones from the T/C box.
