I'm turning the XTP's inside out and causing them to shed cores with mild loads of 5744. I expect I will lose an animal with them someday if I keep running them at these velocities. Other than the barnse, I don't think that there's anything that's going to do much better in that diameter and I may just go that route, but it's always good to have options. Comparing muzzle velocities, it looks like the savage with the slower powders matches the 45-70 pretty well, and that's what the .458's I'm using are designed for.


If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again
