reading all the test post one night, when I was up and could not sleep. started to notice something about the hornidy xtp and the powerbelts.
you over charge them they want to blow up.
both like low charges (but the 200 xtp)
both have a lovers and haters in about every forum I been too.
talking to people in my area and online, in gunshops, lot of people have taken a lot of deer with both bullets.
only that deffer, one cost a whole lot more then the other. edit: one is saboted, the other is an conical
The twodifferences I can think of off the top of my head are that the XTPs can be used with a wider range of charges thanthe powerbelt and that despite reports of XTPs sometimes shedding their jacketthe frequency of that is far less than powerbelts fragmenting. Cost and lack of confidence are also factors.
