Hello everyone. New to the forum.
I have several boxes of 225 XPB'S (#30558) that I was loading in the 454 Casull. The cylinder throats in my Ruger are very generous and these bullets did not perform well (had to go to cast). Has anyone shot any deer or hogs with the 225 XPB'S at Bushmaster velocities? If so, did the bullets perform well? These are the bullets marketed for the 45 LC with the single crimping groove. My blind is at the top of a bluff with a river below. Last 10 deer have been taken from 10 to 60 yards and I am wondering if a bullet designed for the 45 LC will lose it's petals at those speeds.
