[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2042182, member: 75779"] I shoot a 45 Raptor in michigan due to the straight wall regs. I load for my gun and 3 others I've built - so a ton of bullets have been tested. 240/300 xtp mags, 300 parker ballistic extreme, 200/275 barnes, 250 bonded shockwave, etc. I know a guy who shoots the 225 ftx with good results, BUT like the 200 barnes- it doesn't exit when the distance extends to 140+ yards (lose momentum quickly). I shot the 250 maker bullet this year and was thoroughly impressed with it's terminal ballistics. The barnes 245 spitfire shot really well, but haven't tested it on hair yet. 1 bullet that is on my hitlist is a cutting edge bullet. They have some lighter weight bullets that are reported to be very accurate and deadly. The 250 ftx is hit or miss for terminal results - the 45 raptor will fragment it badly. IMO - we need a 220-230gr partition, barnes, ceb, hammer - this is the sweet spot for trajectory/sd/recoil/terminal results. [/QUOTE]
