XTP Performance on Whitetails?

[Crazy Coot]

I'm considering trying out the XTP's out of my Triumph. I will be using these for whitetails. Does anyone have any experience with these? If so, what load are you using?

I have killed over 20 deer using a .50 caliber muzzleloader and the excellent 240 grain .430 XTP bullet. The vast majority of my shots on deer using that bullet have been bang flops or near bang flops: Never lost a deer.

Do your job and the .430 XTP bullet will do its job.

The TC Triumph is one of the most accurate out of the box muzzle loaders for shooting a wide variety of saboted bullets.
It has a lot of other nice features too.

If you really want some specific load suggestions, try the HuntingNet.com black powder forum where there's a lot of serious inline hunters & shooters.

There is a guy called falcon on that forum who uses the 240 grain .430 XTP bullet with good effect on deer and hogs.
