They penetrate well because�..they're 300grains Hornady makes makes 2 versions of the XTP and the mag version is deigned to penetrate deep with very minimal expansion. The animals that were shot with them in the above video hit the ground at the shot. Yep I'd say that is excellent performance The "mag" is only available at .452" - 45 colt, 454, 460, etc. That's why I originally thought it was a .454, because the .44 bullet is not referred to by Hornady as the "Mag". The .45's are made in 2 versions but the .44 is made in only 1. Last edited by wildhobbybobby; 06/22/13. Life is like a purple antelope on a field of tuna fish...

No doubt the 300 grain is a good bullet in the 44 for putting game down, not that I would have thought otherwise. http://www.hornady.com/store/44-Cal-.430-300-gr-HP-XTP/ Details 44 Cal .430 300 gr HP XTP� Features: Controlled expansion to 1.5x its original diameter over a wide range of velocities.

I plugged a smallish doe w/ a pretty conservative load from my Redhawk and it punched right through w/ minimal if any expansion. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth..._mag_300_XTP_on_smallish_sli#Post5627786 Not ideal for deer, but I found her so it wasn't "wrong" either! That vid reminded me to pull her out and give her a workout! Early in my handgun hunting career I shot a buck w/ a 240 XTP and a stout load of H-110 and he got away even in spite of a half day of tracking; my first lost deer ever. A real confidence-destroyer. Badly placed shot though. I need to test them in gallon jugs of water just to see how they expand. Certainly need chrono testing is in order... To say nothing of FIELD testing!

Clearly evident that a 44 magnum shooting 300XTP is up to that task. Best �I've never met a genius. A genius to me is someone who does well at something he hates.
