as you've read by now your the exception and not the rule and that is the standard XTP and not the Mag design. But bottom line is use what you like let the guys know about what you've experienced or seen but as with anything there are two sides to the story.
That is true, it is not a mag XTP because Hornady does not make one for the .44. To get mag results you need to go to the 300 gr XTP. That will give two holes.
I have no beef with how well the 240 works, it is only that they can stop too fast. They might not go deep enough if big bone is hit. After using them I had to make a decision based on results I seen. I was not happy because I back track every deer looking at blood spoor. There is nothing more important then being able to track a deer. Here it is bad because there are a million tracks on trails. There MUST be blood on the ground.
Nothing is worse then being on your knees with a lantern after dark, looking for a speck of blood.
You can kill deer with anything but you have to find them.
I do not trust the 240 XTP to give two holes.
