300g XTP--Jugs

Dutch · Dec 20, 2015

Thanks Hornet22savage,

This is good information. I am like you in that I would have doubts about the XTP Mag based on on many other posts about the Mags being too tough for ML velocities.

Apparently the XTP Mag is designed for the exact velocities we see in our ML's. I will have to give them a try for sure.

This bullet weighs 285.3 grain.

They seem to retain their weight well. I've killed several deer with both the 250 gr and 300 gr .451 XTP, and they always seem to drop a deer in their tracks.

Not bad! For your next assignment, try some of these Speer

300 grain UCSP bullets.

That Speer is a good bullet! It is tougher than one might think.

I've had excellent results both on paper and on deer with those Speers. But I've never tried them on water jugs.

ronlaughlin · Dec 22, 2015

Send me some.

I still have some speer 260 grn http://www.speer-bullets.com/ballistics/detail.aspx?id=208 but they havent been available in a LONG time now.

Ron, now you know I'm a cheap bastich.

Besides, I only have a few myself and can't seem to find them actually in-stock anywhere I've looked.

ronlaughlin · Dec 22, 2015

OK, i will look for them, if and when i find some, i will purchase some. What is the part #?? Do you make and sell staplers?

ronlaughlin · Dec 22, 2015

Hey bastich,

Scott sent me these last summer. They look like the right bullet. Are they??

We will test them when we get a chinook, or summer comes; whichever. How is the staples business these days?

Yes, those are the 300gr UCSP part# 4485. I think they are a great bullet for the money.

Underclocked · Dec 22, 2015

Yes. Otherwise I'm still trying to figure out the stapler question. :mrgreen:
