250 or 300 grain?

[chuck116]

Loading over 90 gr of BH209 but may bump up to 100 gr. just wanting best load for the bullet. I'm using the speer 250 gr deep curl but can get the speer 300 deep curl ( 45 cal) in a harvester black sabot

Either one will do the job just fine for whitetail, if m e I`d use the 300 gr.

I shoot the 300 deep curl on top of 105 V. BH 209.

Another vote for 300

Here’s some BH209 data, that might help.

Last few seasons I prefer 300 over 250. I like the HORNADY XTPs .452 300 MAGs. Harvester .452 crush ribs. 115 gr by vol Blackhorn 209. Every deer i have shot with them i have recovered usually no tracking. Maybe 30yds at most.
The .430 300gr xtps have worked well with both mmp sabots or Harvester green crush rib sabots 120gr charge of blackhorn from a knight 50 cal mountaineer.

I like Swift .430 300gr A-Frames in my 50. That bullet always gives a pass through.

Always wanted to try the A frames
