I have been using the .452" 300Gr Hornady XTP for about a decade now. NEVER had a failure, never had a buck hold one in. I have seen the .44 240 XTP come apart on a deers shoulder a couple times. The lightest thing I personally would feel comfortable with is the 250gr Barnes Expander. But I just love my 300's. I shoot them over 90 grains of 777 2F loose powder.
