I do like that XTP bullet , it isn't a super designer bullets or anything more like old reliable but they seem to get about 40-50% expansion and retain a lot of their weight consistently.
expansion is of course velocity based but punching both sides is really good enough if you caught good stuff in-between the sides with a bullet that already started decent size.

and do it at a reasonable enough price

they don't make pretty little flower like petals but they make a flat expanded nose plowing through. too much expansion on game gets you no exit , I like exit on game.

Bought a new Henry last fall in .360. Will let ya know this season how it does in the deer woods.

We are pushing XTP bullets in our muzzleloaders and they do very well on deer. No complaints. I am sure they perform well on straight walled cartridges loaded correctly.

Went with the Henry in 45 long colt…. It’s payed for and ordered… they even had some hot loads in stock for it so all set

… thanks everyone

I think you will like that caliber much better

I just picked up a model 94/44 for this falls bear hunt

Local pawn shop had a Marlin 336 in 30-30. 1976 made so pre safety with a Jap made Tasco. Very very clean with no extra holes anywhere. $550 out the door.

Picking it up this weekend.

Taurus bought Rossi. Them Rossi lever guns are built in Bainbridge, Ga. Rumor is they are of better quality now than when built in Brazil.
