Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders 45 Cal .452 300 gr XTP performance on game?

Excellent bullet! While I don't use them in my ML, they are one of the most accurate bullets in my 45 Colt levergun at 1590fps.

I used a 44cal 240gr XTP to kill a big 10-point VA buck years ago in my ML. 100gr by volume of BH209 crushed it. The bullet killed well but came apart and didn't exit. I temporarily switched to the 265gr Hornady FP until I shot some Fury Star Tip full bore bullets.
