Actually I was going to work with the 250 gr. MAG version. My shots are in the timber and usually from about 40 - 70 yards, though the buck above was closer to 90 - 100 yards. And no assumptions about the loads accuracy until I put the work in.
Please show me a link to the 250gr XTP MAG. Never seen one and its not listed on Hornady's website.
Seriously, there is a reason even Savage owners usually avoid this bullet. You would be better off with the regular 300gr XTP if you want to shoot a cheaper bullet and get two holes.
Wideners still has some Nosler Partitions cheap if you want a Grade A bullet for a economy price. Thats half of suggested MSRP.
