Ok I have not shot the FTX but the SST and the same results. No expansion at all. I did have an XTP 240 grain not expand at all this past year too. It did not hit any bone though. So my question is this what bullet will expand even if not hitting bone at about 1800 fps? 44 or 45 caliber depending on what gun I am using. 44 mag contender or possibly CVA scout rifle or muzzleloader.
