Semantics. I know a number of big game handgun hunters who have used that Hornady factory load on big bovines and it has not worked well, including Bud?s report. Keep in mind Bud is a former PH out of Zimbabwe and he has a lot of big game hunting experience with both handguns and rifles. His opinion matters to me.
No it?s not semantics, they are indeed two different bullets.
Just got of the phone with Hornady and they do not offer the 500 grain XTP in a component bullet only in loaded ammo. The 500 grain offered is a traditional pistol bullet flat point with no serations to aid expansion.
