    I shoot the parts you don't eat and have never had a problem with XTP bullets. I can't imagine how/why a 44 caliber hollow-point would ever create more damage to meat than a shotgun or a muzzle-loader (which often shoots XTP bullets in sabots).
    ^^^
    This, only time I have ever lost meat was a quartering away shot and hit the far shoulder. It wouldn't have mattered what they were shot with, even a bow would have done the damage.

    What kind of accuracy are you getting from your 77/44? I've wanted to use one of those for deer hunting for a very long time, and never met anyone who had one.

    I'm getting 2" - 2.5" if I do my part. One thing I learned with this rifle is that you almost need to hold it down against muzzle rise for best accuracy. It is a very light little rifle.
