Ha. I'm tracking now!! BTW, recovered the bullet as I was cutting it up today. I was surprised to find an intact 230 grain xtp on the off side under the hide. It passed through rib and tracked upwards through a vertebrae and just under hide in front shoulder/neck area. This longslide .460 Rowland really slings them hard with Longshot powder. I'm guessing the impact velocity is over 1200 fps. ***** Good work. Texture of this Hornady .45 230 XTP sure looks like bone contact. In my experience, the XTP’s jacket tends to fold close to the shank and the core to shed some weight. Deer skin exhibits amazing elastic strength to contain a diversity of bullets, velocities, shooting angles on the off side. Anything fired from a .45 automatic places a premium on placement, which you have done. Appreciate the follow-up, perhaps using your toothbrush at the sink to clean sinew & meat from your bullet. As a footnote on the Hornady 230 XTP, specifically from the Hornady +P factory load, this bullet ranks among Federal Hydra-Shot 230 JHP and the Remington Golden Saber 230 JHP over 8.5/Accurate #5 for grouping 5x5 under 3-inches @ 100 from a Les Baer 1911 Super Tac----Bo-Mar rear and .100-inch front sight-----off the bag. The original Winchester Black Talon 230 JHP should crowd that ranking, along with the Speer Gold Dot 230 JHP. Hollow points with fancy noses had me doubting the accuracy of these exotic auto pistol bullets. Targets @ 100 yards proved their excellent balance. The XTP was a great improvement over first generation Hornady JHP’s for the auto pistol. Meanwhile, Hornady’s revolver JHP’s set the bar very high, and the pure lead core HP remains an class deer bullet. Against these terminal dancers, the old Speer”Flying Ashtray" 200 JHP, expands aggressively----until stymied by a mouthful of hair, in which case it may not open at all. (Late gun writer Dean Grennel coined “Flying Ashtray” to describe the gape-mouth hollow point.) Good show, David Bradshaw

Thanks Bradshaw. When I recovered the bullet, there were many bone fragments stuck in it. Both backstraps were also full of bone shrapnel from the xtp going through bone and taking an odd course through the deer. I was extremely surprised that the bullet looked how it did since it was fired in a .460 Rowland vs the tame .45 acp velocity

Great job. I love my 460 Rowland. Its built on a Glock 21. Superbly accurate. Kills with authority. I am building a 460 Rowland on a Blackhawk now.
