I recently got a good deal on some Hornady 200 Gr. XTP's. I want to try them in my 1971 vintage saddle ring M1894. Anyone use these on deer at 100 yds. or less? My load of 22 gr. of #2400 gives me some pretty good groups using just the barrel sights. I may get a receiver sight.
Would appreciate your experience(s) as to range and terminal performance of this bullet.
Also, does anyone have the receiver sight that fits on top of the receiver? Comments? Brand(Williams)?
