Just so you know a little history...
Hornady XTPs have probably accounted for more deer than any muzzleloading bullet used since saboted bullets became common in inlines in the mid-80s...The Savage smokeless muzzleloader was actually developed around one of the XTP bullets...
The .430 240gr XTP has been a reliable performer before then as many hunters have used this in their .44 Mag handguns...
Sorry you didn't find you deer before the coyotes but you came on here wanting opinions and you received them...
Many of these guys were killing deer with muzzleloaders before you were a gleam in your Daddy's eyes...
As far as you being a "stud" and "loverboy" on your profile...That's just showing your youthful arrogance...I've raised 3 daughters, have 2 through college and married and have been married myself for over 31 years...
While you think you are "all that"...It won't be many years before your wife will be telling you to take out the garbage and will be dictating when you will get lucky...

That bullet is used in .44 magnum rifles to velocities of 1,800 fps. Some hunters load that bullet in their .444 Marlin guns. They get velocities up to 2,250 fps and they kill deer with their guns.

Whatever I know ? happened,and where the shot was placed.So the shot was a little high but still caught both lungs. I wouldnt even give XTP's to someone for FEAR they would use them for deer hunting instead of Target Shooting/Reloading 44 mag bullets/45 colt long. <<<which is what they are meant for.Not muzzleloaders.

I've been hunting since my dad gave me my first 22 at the age of 10 years old and trusted me enough to go out in the woods on my own. The years after receiving this wonderful Winchester model 62A pump 22 (Which I still Have), I challenged myself to learn the skills required to take on the responsibility of shooting a animal and killing it.
I take hunting and the killing of animals VERY serious. I have seen many people that call themselves hunters, but don't have a clue on what it takes to be able to say, "I am a HUNTER".
Flippant statements from a person who obviously doesn't regard the life of the animals they shoot as no more than a target make me very angry, as it should anyone who proclaims to to be "A HUNTER"

You know you're really starting to get on My Nerve's. I just Deleted about 8 Paragraphs of stuff I just said about what I think of you because Im better than that.
Boy for someone that Claims he shot and found his 130 Class Buck that was shot by a XTP and ate by Coyotes and never showed any proof of it Im starting to think your story is all bull and you made it up. Why not post a PIC of the Rack so you can at least Half shut me up. If you cant do it Im sure someone on here will post it for you.
There's No Excuse as to why you could'nt have found your Deer after it only ran as far as you say, I dont care what Terraine it was in. I Live in Hill Country and some of the Nastiest Thickest Stuff you ever Hunted in, Swamps, Creeks, Ravines ect, and that never stopped me from finding one.
You can talk to me that way and get away with it on the Internet because your safe, but if you were here you'd be running the other way. Both your Avatar Pic and Location are as Immature as you are. Your Just Too Cool I wish I could be you, NOT!

He admits to hitting it high in the lungs and doesnt understand that there will not be much blood trail???? Clueless youth. Lets blame the bullet and tell everyone that has had great results with the same bullet that they are idiots. Nice.
Not sure what books he can read, but I dont think he will find any 130's in one.
