All,
I got a box of 44cal 225 grain Hornady FTXs for super cheap. I have heard mixed results for the FTXs in general so I know they may ultimately become plinking bullets BUT they shoot amazing out of my CVA Accura V2. We are talking Sub-MOA out to 150 yards tested so far with 110grains 209 powder. I have not shot to 200 yards yet but I feel confident they will still be in the 1-1.5MOA ball park. Even though not the best, do you think they will be ok for whitetails? They are a lighter bullet and from what I can tell not the best penetrating so I know all shots would be broadside lung shots only with ranges over 60 yards I would think.
