TC mag Express/50 cal/240 grn W XTP Bullet

[saxman1]

I picked up two 30 count box's of them
50 cal/240grn with XTP bullet
They have black sabots supplied but the guy threw in 2 box's of TC Superglide sabots(yellow) 50 count each.
So I got 60 bullets and 100 sabots for $20.00

Have yall shot these bulletts?
How did the preform?
And any load data you may have would be appreciated.
I'll shoot these out of my Optima

Nice score on the bullets saxman. I am shooting them out of my Omega as well with 90gr. of BH powder. I am new at this, so I haven't had a chance to connect on a deer yet. From what I have read they should do very well. Sorry I have no other load data for you, some of the ML junkies :lol: should be able to help out . zman

I think lots of us "grew up" on the 240-300gr XTP sabots. I still have a old red plastic box i use just for storage.

And still a great value today compared to the others. On sale they are close to loose bullet pricing.

There are three different 240 grain XTP bullets. You probably have the .452 XTP.

1. The 240 grain .430 XTP
2. The 240 grain .452 XTP
3. The 240 grain .452 XTP Magnum-The jacket of this bullet is turned into the hollow point.

For over ten years I've used the 240 grain .430 XTP to good effect on deer and hogs.

If it ever gets out of the low 20's around here I would go try them at the range.
DANG IT's COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone hunting a couple times,I think the deer have just laid down till it warms up.
I'll try again this afternoon

The .452 300 grain XTP shoots greta in my Accura with 100 grains of loose T7.

Im hoping to baptize the combination on a deer this weekend.

Yesterday morning when I woke up: -13* F. :shock: (not a wind chill either) Suppose to hit 15* today.

Before my transplant I handled cold real well and dreamed of a Canadian Whitetail hunt,but now after,I don't do well with the cold and I dream of a South Texas Whitetail hunt.
Whatever gets it done.
