THERE ARE FAR BETTER BULLETS AVAILABLE THAN THE XTP's FOR SERIOUS HUNTING TASKS AND I MOSTLY STAY AWAY FROM THEM NOW. ON DEER AND HOGS I WOULD STILL CONSIDER THEIR USE IN 454's WITH 300gr BULLETS BUT FORTUNEATELY I DO NOT HAVE ANY NEED FOR THEM AT THIS TIME. PROBLEM WITH THE XTP's IS THAT I BELIEVE THEY ARE BUILT DIFFERENT FROM CALIBER TO CALIBER SO XTP's WORK BETTER IN SOME CALIBERS THAN OTHERS. NOT ALL XTP's ARE RATED UP TO THE SAME VELOCITIES, AND IN SOME CARTRIDGES YOU CAN DRIVE THEM TOO FAST, AND IN OTHERS YOU CANNOT DRIVE THEM FAST ENUFF.
"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.
