300 gr. XTP's IN 45 COLT 454 EQUIVALENT LOADS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED WELL FOR ME ON DEER SIZED GAME, AND I EVEN SHOT A HUGE BODIED ELK WITH ONE (HEART SHOT). IN A 1993 SAFARI I WAS SHOOTING A LOT OF IMPALA FOR LEOPARD BAIT I USED THE FA 300 gr. FP AND THE 300 gr. XTP, BOTH AT 454 VELOCITIES, AND THEY KILLED EQUALLY WELL. THE XTP IS NOT NEAR THE BULLET THE A-FRAME IS BUT THE XTP IS ACCURATE, DEADLY AND COSTS LESS THAN THE A-FRAMES, BUT TODAY I WOULD NOT USE IT FOR GAME LARGER THAN DEER.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
