I can say the XTP has been the bullet that has accounted for the most game out of my inlines. While I won't say its the best bullet I have used it certainly is a good one and very reasonable to shoot. The only thing I truly care about is that the pentration received from a given bullet is enough to damage both lungs wheter it busts through or stops on the opposite hide isn't the end all and be all. I know they can't live with holes in both lungs so thats where i send my projectiles.

As far as placement one of the biggest mistakes: I hear or see is the shooter not picking a target on an animal but rather using the animalas the target.I pick a spot; be it the crease, patch of hair, etcand focus solely on that spot. I actually ampretty fast and deliberate in my delivery of the shot process. When I deceide to shoot Ipick the point of aim, acquire, switch off the safety and let the crosshairs fall down to thattarget and squeeze. The only excepetion being long distance shots where I need to figure out drop and winddrift into the holding equation.
