Yep! the 200 grain 10mm (40 cal) XTP and the 200 grain SST/Shockwave are the same base bullet - come ot of the same mold EXCEPTthe placement of the Polymere tip on top.

I had never looked at the ballistics of the 200 - 10mm - 40 cal before yesterday, but I was certainly amazed when I did. OMEGA and his wife on Modern Muzzleloaders site kinda started my interest in the 200 but at that time I knew I could not use it - so how that infromation fell out of my head last week when I bought that box of XTP's I do not know, - old age, I guess...

Make a great ML vermit bullet, a great "yote" bullet if I were into hunting "yotes" - I KNOW I will use it this spring shooting ground squirrels in the meadows. That could really be fun. Oh! I am having a vision -I can see I am going to need another scope - a Varment scope for a ML. that will go over like a rock in a lake....

Have fun today - you will probably get to shoot ML - I'm off to the trap range....
