Almost all bullets can be pushed to failure...missing and not being able to place shots properly can get you killed too...there are a lot of variables in failure
This is true, but we should all take the responsibility of reducing the v
[/b]ariables that we can, and the bullet's integrity is a big one.
We can argue semantics till the cows come home, and call it what you will, but the question remains: Is it a good bullet or not?
That, in a nutshell, is my only concern. By golly, I missed most of this in "real time."
You guys are almost funny, but serious too.
Here is what I know:
XTP stands for "Extreme Terminal Performance." The design that we all imagine when XTP is mentioned is the hollow point with the deep serrations on the nose.
The 500 grain "flat lead nose" bullet shown in the pics is not of the "traditional XTP design" that we all think off. (It actually looks like the .45 caliber Freedom Arms Bullet design almost exactly!)
What the box or Hornady calls it IS confusing IMO. HOWEVER, if it "Gives Extreme Terminal Performance" then there you go!
No reason to argue!
I hope that we are now all "on the same page."
