"Cast bullets" shoot thru and penetrate deeply, but they are not best for hunting since they don't expand and cause large wound channel."

There is more than one kind of cast bullet. WhatChap saya (or was that what someone else said? I'm confused.)would be true only for hard cast. Pure lead casts expand very well.

And I don't think anyone would suggest radically changing a load that is a proven workhorse in your use. The XTP chart seems a bitdeflated so far as speed limitations for many of the variations. XTPs are not all bad in my limited experience using them.
