Only critter I ever took with an xtp of any sort was a deer. Used Hornady cartridges right off the shelf through my very first hunting handgun-- a 460 S&W XVR.

Knowing what I know now, I would have bought a different revolver as my first hunting handgun, but that "scam bullet" did it's job that day. I went home with a dead critter. It didn't even take a step.

I believe that bullet was made so Smith and Wesson could say they had the fastest, biggest, baddest.... Whatever. And admittedly, I bought into it. But now that I'm older and more experienced in this way of life, in my opinion, the 460 doesn't really show it's ability till you get to the heavy bullets. My second 460 was a single shot, and it loved the 335gr hardcast, and hit like a hammer.

Anyway, guess I got a little long winded, but that's my limited experience with the xtp bullets, and it worked very well that day.
