I've shot both but never took a deer with either. I heard the XTP mags hold together a little more and do not expand as much. Whether that's true I can not confirm with in the field experience.
Yes, that is true. The jacket is thicker. My son has shot a few deer with them a couple of years ago and they worked good. I like the thicker jacket for bone hits. Chap Gleason
