Keep in mind, I'm firing then from my lever gun, not a handgun. A bit of a performance boost there.

You're not helping me here, Brad. 😁

Anyone have any experience with these? LGS has a really good price on them right now. Are they a good buy?

This chart gives a pretty good explanation of the working velocity ranges for the XTP's.

That's a great deal!!

If you are mainly concerned with seating accuracy, you might want to look at the Frankford Arsenal Universal Micrometer seating die. I've been using it for about 2 years, and it gives much more accurate seating depth (measured from the ogive) than a standard seater which is pushing on the nose...

I have yet to hear of anyone who regrets buying the Garmin. Yes, it's $600; but a Big Mac is almost $10, so...

Thanks for the tip. I was able to pick up a brick each of CCI LR and LRM primers. Hard to believe that $89.99 counts as a deal these days, but there was free shipping and only the $20 hazmat fee.

Gerry, I have killed two deer, a buck and a doe, with each of these bullets. While I did not recover the bullet from any of them, I can make a few assumptions based on my observations at the time of the shot. All shots were the classic behind-the-front-leg shot to the vitals, at distances from...

Aren't .460's able to shoot .454 and .45 Colt ammo? Maybe load up a few warm .45 Colt rounds, like what I've talked about in this thread, and let him shoot some of those thru his pistol. He might find that he enjoys that much better.

I don't think the gummy tips are going to do that much to help his trajectory in a handgun. Would be a nice test to compare accuracy, drop, etc. at distance.

What platform is he shooting the .460 in? Pistol or rifle?

I just saw this thread. Prayers for all involved. Stay safe!

Next up, the 240gr XTP Mag. As noted, this bullet is harder than the standard XTP, and designed for the bigger .45 caliber rounds, such as the .454 Casull, etc. Thus, the recommended MV for this bullet goes all the way up to about 2100 fps, instead of the recommended 1600 fps of the 250 XTP...

So, I finally got around to doing a water jug test on these two bullets. I've used them for a few years in my .45 Colt Henry rifle for deer hunting, and have taken deer with both bullets. The loads are as follows: 250gr XTP - 23.0gr Accurate #9, WLP primer, Starline brass. This load gives...

Also, I have several other varieties of .452 bullets in that ~250gr size. Speer, Nosler, Hornady, etc. Not sure of quantities of the top of my head. If you're interested in a trade, PM me.

If you're just going to plink with them, I'll trade you a new box of 100 Hornady 250gr XTP's for them.

Glad you like your Garmin, Brad. It's an excellent tool. Thanks for the powder feedback, I'll pass that info on to my son for his 7 mag. Have you tried Magpro powder?

He posted a video last night, titled "I Am Dead." Obviously pre-recorded, but that is so Paul. RIP, brother.

Same case I bought for my Garmin.
