Even on the B&M website itself, with the 50 B&M Alaskan, there is very positive feedback on the XTP FP, but I do understand that it's not the inventor of those rounds, probably someone just trying to make the round sound more appealing

FRANCHISE: DID THIS GUY USE THOSE BULLETS IN A HANDGUN OR A RIFLE?

Rifle...that's what made me think that if they can hold up to rifle velocities, they must be fairly stout

I was mistaken on the Large Dangerous Bovines, but he sure likes the 500 gr XTP FP... Hornady does not make a 500 grain XTP, they do make a 350 Grain XTP 50 caliber. https://www.hornady.com/bullets/xtp#!/

You said XTP bullet and they do not make a 500 XTP in 50 cal. Hornady does make a 500 grain .500 bullet for the 500 S&W but it is not an XTP https://www.hornady.com/bullets/handgun/#!/ Your post does not say XTP in your picture of the article.

No show me on the B&M forum. Hornady web site does not call them XTP?s as I linked the web site. Inorder to load them in a B&M they would have to be a component bullet.

https://www.hornady.com/bullets/handgun/#!/ On the web site their is no 500 grain 50 cal XTP. It is listed as ? Traditional?. Look for your self, their is no XTP component bullet listed.

I can find 500 grain XTP 500 S&W loaded Ammo, but under component bullets for reloading they do not call them XTP.

 This is getting pointless.....from the 2011 Hornady paperback catalog....this is the only heavyweight .500 bullet hornady offers....process of elimination tells you it's this bullet
