Has the Unicor let you down in some way or are you planning on hunting something tougher and thicker than usual?

Would be used primarily for Moose(if I don't fill my archery tag), I shot one last year with Remington factory load. Couldn't judge performance as it was a close range shot right between the lookers...

I think I will be FINE with the 300 UniCor, just curious as to if anyone had tried them and if they were worth the extra cost??

Why not try both and let us know? And as a fellow archer I hope you get every chance to collect your moose with sharp sticks. Good hunting!

I don't think the A frame would be worth the extra money at all. I have used the Hornady XTPs in my 444. I use the 300 grain XTP in the field exclusively.

With a 44 bore, in this country, I don't think there is any game that it is too small for except maybe an attacking irritated grizzly. Then a 20mm cannon feels on the small side.

Cheers and good shooting

I agree! A couple of years ago I did a test using pine boards (soaked in water prior to shooting them) spaced 1" apart. I used the Sierra , Speer and Horny XTP all 300 grains. The 300 gr XTP was the most devastating, penetrated more and retained the most weight....even though it is a HP.
