Yeah, until I found the brand new data I just posted, The previous Barnes data only showed one powder.

I was very pleased to see a good selection of powders in this data, and seems like some good stout loads.

I have killed one mule deer buck with the XPB and my own handloads around 1700-1750ish FPS. I recovered both bullets in offside hide, one breaking the shoulder. massive wound channels and bullets looked like you read about. one pedal on one of the bullets partly sheared off, otherwise perfect.



I definitley want to try them again, and hope to see if I can achieve 1850+ fps and get good accuracy in my 7 1/2" FA M83.

I think getting the higher velocity would give me more confidence to use that load for bigger critters like elk
