The Hornady 240 grain XTP's results on two deer this year were impressive. One ran a little, but Stevie Wonder could have followed the blood trail by feel. The other was bang-flop.

I am actually looking at using a hard-cast or JSP in the same weight, as the XTP's went through, bet damn did they expand excessively at the velocity I was shooting them out of my 16.5" barreled Handi-rifle.

Like above posters, I have not been impressed with the LeverE rounds in .44 mag out of a rifle.
