one thing has been bothering me since I bought my first pack of 230 gr w/surefire sabots, WHO makes the bullets for t/c for the package. all the research I have not figured it out yet.

TC has several contracts with Hornady and MMP... but that surefire I am not sure who's that is - I really do not think it is a Hornady.... Is that 230 a 44 cal .430 or a 45 .452? Is it a hollow point or soft point??

Well, guess what I just found it on the Hornady site.... It is a .451 Pistol XTP...

45 .451 or .452, packaged with a black sabot it is a Hollow point. I just did a little looking around, only compeny I found that it comes close to what it looks like is SIERRA. I don't think I am right about that. it could be why they did not list the brand on the package too.

am I right or wrong, I only paid $6 for a 20 pack.

just bothers me that if I end up like this bullet, I like to know who makes it so I can buy a bulk of them.

thats funny, why not say it on the package

What about this? Does this look like what you have - I hope not...



Does the 230 have any expansion lines down from the nose of the bullet..

yes but they are not as deep at the ones on the xtp, but they have 2 long and about 4 short, I can't get them to show up on a pic worth a damn

they look likea Sierra .4515 jacketed hollow point. These are 230 grain and they have the lines you describe.

now I am worried about using them on deer. I check all the local gunshops. see if they have any xtp, T/C or hornady and 45 or 44 bulk, I have done a little work with 45 out of mmp sabots. grrr, suck that I am low on everything but the 230gr. good thing I need to do some more range work before the season opens.

Underclocked

maybe it's a Berry

now I have another part of the damn thread, should I go on and sight in with the 230 gr (sierra ?). tuesday is the last day I can get ready for opening of ML. Or should I hunt for the xtps I been using?


How ever I go, I am going find a way to do a expansion test on the 230gr after the end of the season
I checked there site, only thing in a .452 hollow point is a 200 gr, are they all copper? some great prices too.

so I don't think it is them.

I just driving myself crazy over stupid stuff sheesh
