In short I trust the XTP but not the XTP-MAG.


INTERESTING OBSERVATION. MOST OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH 300 gr. XTP's WAS PROBABLY WITH THE REGULAR XTP's AND I HAD NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM. NOT SURE I HAVE EVER USED AN XTP-MAG ON GAME, PRACTICE YES, GAME I DO NOT THINK SO.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
