It is an unfortunate fact that I now live in CA, so shooting non-lead bullets for hunting has been something I’ve had to live with.

I’ve worked up good, accurate loads with the XPB in a SBH that I hunt with. I’ve killed deer with them, placed in the right spot the deer does die. But they do not hit hard like a Wide Flat Nose cast lead bullet, and the XPB bullets don’t seem to transfer the energy as much as they zip through.

When I hunt back home in Ohio, I shoot a 260 LBT WFNGC bullet that I cast myself. I would shoot any deer or elk with that bullet over the XPB if I had a choice.

Gary, or anyone who has used them. - TM, 2021-02-17, 14:45
