Default Difference between .45 cal 240 grain xtp's

I bought a box of Thompson Center 240 grain xtp bullets with mag express sabots this fall before deer season and had really good luck with them, they shot really well and I took a couple of deer with them and even recovered a bullet and was very happy with the performance. I wanted to get more and figured I would buy them in bulk and save some money and get a bunch of them. T/C says its a .45 cal bullet and 240 grains. Hornady only makes one 240 grain .45 cal bullet and its the xtp mag so I bought a box of 100 of them and when I got home I notice they are not the same bullet! The ones that come packaged by T/C look to be non mag bullets but they don't make a .45 cal 240 grain non mag. Any ideas?

Thanks

Most use the .429 240gr but they also make a .429 300 gr as well as .451s in 250 and 300gr...They all work well and are made to expand at the same velocities...
