Tuning in. Hopefully he gives some good info on equipment and ammo.

 The guys is a little wild but did give a little info. Really made the Razorback look stellar!

- The Deer at 20 yards with the 200gr folded up instantly with a pass-through shot. After that one he said he would rather use a 150gr or 180gr for those.
- Two pigs with two shots but no information on which bullet. The one he showed was a pass-through through the shoulder.

- He dropped the 1000lb Elk shooting off a rest three shots (only showed the one hit). No information on ammo type and then had to recruit help to drag it out of the water.  :o

I have emailed razor before about his ammo he likes to use lighter weight bullets for deer size game.

The elk was shot with a 200 gr stock xtp.  I talked to him about it awhile ago.

    I wonder if the second and third shot hit? It's a big animal to bring down with a single shot I would think. I wonder if a Hardcast would have been better for that? That would be the sticking point with the Razorback.

Cast would have been way better.   Shot some cast in a razorback yesterday.  25 yards 7 shots all in the center dot of the bullseye. Thing shot great.  I need one.  Even thinking about selling my longslide setup glock to build a longslide 1911.

I live in a state that requires an expanding bullet to hunt with handguns. Hardcast isn't considered expanding right? What would be the best round? This 200 gr. XTP?

Negative, hardcast does not expand.  It very well may be designed to fragment (not what I'm looking for in game animal planning to eat). 

10mm:
200gr XTP excellent choice for hunting if pushed fast enough (good luck finding commercial offerings loaded hot enough to do the trick, been looking about four months myself).  Non issue if you roll your own.

200gr Nosler another good hunting option and easier to find these days. 

Federal 180gr Trophy Bonded  JSP very new but initial data is very promising as hunting round.

180gr XTP and Gold Dot pretty damn good choices for deer sized game too.

What about Underwoods 200 xtp bullet? Not fast enough?

  PBR or Underwood 200 XTP's will do just fine as well.
