Hornady XTP, 230 or a 250 grainer.
Power Pistol will get all you are going to get out of 45 acp. The 230 MIGHT not hold up on a big bone in a whitetail if you have it going too fast. The 250 MIGHT not expand much if you don't hit some bone. I would use the 230, load it to about 850 is all, and stick with close broadside shots only. |
