Doegirl I have nothing to base this thought on, and perhaps someone with field experience can comment...

If the XTP Mag holds together more, couldn't that be a benefit for hits to bone mass or pass through with a deer? I shoot both, and both are accurate in a number of my rifles. But I never would have guessed that the XTP would not be a great bullet as well as the standard XTP. But still I have no practical in the field, blasting a deer experience to back up my thoughts.

Anyone with practice experience in the field with either of them, sound off...
