I've loaded a bunch but never shot a deer with them.

One thing I can tell you though - do not substitute the standard 300 XTP for the XTP Mag! I made that mistake, had some decent mi-range loads worked up with the 300 XTP Mag bullet in my 454, and loaded some regular XTP bullets without realizing they were different - result was really high pressure, no Kaboom but there were definite pressure signs.
Thanks for this post.. I have a box of each and, like you, didn't notice the difference..

But why did the 'regular' ones give you higher pressure? They're both .452" Diam..
