RE: first muzzleloader kill and bull
 

???

How can you tell which one is a XTP or XTP mag , which one has two rings on it ??? The ones he used had one ring and came in a box with sabots and said50 cal .45 -300 xtp mags . The box of bulk bullets that i shoot have two rings on the bullet and says .45 cal .452 300 grn hp/xtp# 45230 Which one would be better for a muzzleloader ??

THANKS
Robk.

XTP mags - the copper jacket is rolled over into the nose of hollow point.

Both the .430/300grain XTP and the .452/300 grain XTP have two rings...




This the .452/300 grain XTP MAG

The picture above shows the 300 XTP (non mag)


IMO Shooting short range the non-mag especially at whitetail. Shooting longer ranges or thick skinned animals (like an elk) XTP-Mag
