Of all the XTP's I believe the 44cal 240 and 300 are the best for high speed I have used the with 130 gr RS with out a problem. Part of the problem is people want to lump the whole brand together it just does not work that way each bullet is made for a particular velocity, the commen use of these particular ones is the 44Mag and Super Mag the only one that are actually better high velocity bullets are the Gold Dots and the specality bullets Designed for mag muzzle loaders and the A frame and all copper Barns ,Nosler ect. which to me are overly expensive,when a Shock Wave or Gold Dot or XTP or several others would do the job very neatly. For long range and high velocity the 50/40 200gr Shock Wave really dont have any compitition. Its closest competitor is the 40 cal 200gr XTP in a blue sabot, now there is the meanest XTP of all after that I guess the 250 Shock Wave and then some of the expensive one. Lee
