I am shooting 300gr XTP mags in my muzzleloader with a muzzle velocity of 1950fps. I recovered two bullets last year and both were a perfect mushroom wieghing in a 240gr or so. Now these deer were shot at close range, like 20ft for one and a tad more for the other. But I recovered the bullet in one from a quartering shot thru the shoulder thru the lungs, and in under the hide way back near the gut.

I was thinking this is a bullet that could be reloaded for the 45-70. Am I wrong.
