Default RE: first muzzleloader kill and bull

???

How can you tell which one is a XTP or XTP mag , which one has two rings on it ??? The ones he used had one ring and came in a box with sabots and said50 cal .45 -300 xtp mags . The box of bulk bullets that i shoot have two rings on the bullet and says .45 cal .452 300 grn hp/xtp# 45230 Which one would be better for a muzzleloader ??

THANKS
Robk.

How can you tell which one is a XTP or XTP mag
XTP mags - the copper jacket is rolled over into the nose of hollow point.

which one has two rings on it ???
Both the .430/300grain XTP and the .452/300 grain XTP have two rings...




The ones he used had one ring and came in a box with sabots and said50 cal .45 -300 xtp mags .
This the .452/300 grain XTP MAG



[/align][/align]
The box of bulk bullets that i shoot have two rings on the bullet and says .45 cal .452 300 grn hp/xtp# 45230
The picture above shows the 300 XTP (non mag)


Which one would be better for a muzzleloader ??
IMO Shooting short range the non-mag especially at whitetail. Shooting longer ranges or thick skinned animals (like an elk) XTP-Mag

Here is a link to posting... it is an old link so the pictures that go along with the explanations are gone - butI still think it will help...

Here is a pict of some recovered Gold Dots - if you get an opportunity might try these bullets from Idaho...
