and....................it was pretty clear from the outset, criticisms of the xtp were based on how they would perform on larger game. if you never ever shoot larger game it really doesn't matter quite honestly what bullet you use out of any reasonable hunting pistol. i never felt the criticism of the 357 on deer was warranted since theres a plethora of deer killed with them. the point was the 300gr xtp only fail at a really high velocity threshold on big stuff. The OP talked about 300+lb hogs, not deer, not 80lb texas does.
