And I support YOUR decision to do that. Honestly, I do.

But, just for fun......let's look at the science.

I did the math on my 10" G2 with 180gr XTP bullets.

My muzzle velocity is right at 1,575 fps. Hornady states on their site that the 180gr XTP functions as designed within the muzzle velocity range of 900-1,700 fps.



Using ballistic data, the 180gr XTP out of my gun has a retained velocity of 1,133 fps at 200 yards.



So, scientifically/mathematically, the bullet is impacting within it's designed velocity threshold according to Hornady.

Ergo..........scientifically......the numbers say the bullet will work.

Gotta love science.
