However, finding them tends to be an issue nowadays, so I've been looking at potential alternatives. While looking through Midway's website, I noticed they had a couple 460 S&W capable bullets in stock, but no XTP-Mags. My question is, if I run them at maximum or near-maximum loads, do you think it would make a difference whether I used a lighter, faster 200 grain FTX or XPB compared to a larger, slower 300 to 325 grain Swift A-frame or Speer DeepCurl? I'm asking both in terms of accuracy and the distance a deer might potentially travel before expiring.
