I am launching the 250gr XTP at 2,388 FPS out of my Encore .460 S&W Pistol. Have taken 2 deer with devastating results! Recovered both bullets expanded to about max capability.
Love this combo for whitetail.
Interesting....I've never recovered one from my 454 at 1750fps.
I had a much higher impact velocity and hit on side point of the shoulder bone on both deer. Leading to rapid expansion and shallower penetration. Both bullets were recovered under the hide on the quartering towards deer.
oooh....that prolly hurt.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
