My buddy and I use the .429s, his gun prefers the 240gr, mine the 300gr...We both use the plain green Harvester sabots...They both kill deer...

He wants me to take it and make sausage from it, but like you said Dave when you cook it you can smell it and it s=does stink up the house.....mabey I'll take the back straps and tenderloin and give the rest to another friend who wants to make more sausage, or just give him the whole stinky old buck

I have all my bucks ground and donate to a local food bank. When I used to take bucks younger than 2.5, I would eat them. but, now that i won't shoot one that young, they all go to the food bank.

The doe is all I eat.

I've been knocking down deer with the XTP's for a few years now outta my Wolf. I only ever had to track one to the edge of a field. The rest all just fell over where they stood. I've recovered 2 bullets from the hams deer I had shot quartering towards. They hold together really well, even after traveling about as far through a deer as they could. (front to back)
