[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1369288, member: 95733"] Schuylkill, You CAN NOT go wrong with Hornady standard 300 grain XTP's. Its a handgun bullet that works superbly at ML velocities and they are reasonably priced. I have killed deer and 1 elk and each and every time they passed through, left great but very short blood trails. My friends also use them on deer and 1 330" bull and had results that mirror mine. I also can not recommend strongly enough you use Harvester smooth black sabots for use with .451" 45 caliber bullets like the XTP. If your ML will shoot them well they are a great any species bullet. The Barnes T-EZ flat based also are a great bullet if your gun shoots them well, but a bit pricy. Based on my experience the flat based Barnes ML bullets are more accurate than the boat tailed ones and I have shot well over a hundred combined of flat based and boat tail. Tried only one pack of 15 of the standard Barnes non-tipped expanders with the HUGE HP and they shot well and have a very good reputation for killing what they hit, but I could get the tipped ones cheaper so I went with them. Between my Encore 209x50 (1200-1300 shots), Savage 10ML-II 1000-1100 shots) and my Knight Elite (175-200 shots) I have used well over 2500 Harvester sabots and are 100% satisfied with them, best sabot there is IMHO. Have used the smooth black sabots for .451' bullets, black crush ribbed for .458" bullets, and they are awesome. Lastly, I can not recommend STRONGLY ENOUGH BH209 BP sub. I'm on my third jug and I would rather buy BH209 than use any other BP sub for free, and this is coming from a guy who went through over a 1000 Pyrodex pellets and several jugs of 3F-777. After only one range session with BH209 I literally sold or gave away all my remaining Pyrodex and 777. [/QUOTE]
