[align=left]Those velocities look pretty respectable to me.

Remember that the XTP is designed for handgun velocities and might fragment excessively at higher velocities...

I had one seperate from the jacket on a close (20 yd)javelina at lower velocities than you're getting (I was only pushing 1400+ fps), but the bullet did hit the shoulder going in.

On one cull-buck, shot at abt 65 yds, the bullet performed perfectly, using the same gun/load. No trailing was necessary...

I use the Harvester sabots and the 200 gn XTP also.

You need to bust a couple of deer with those loads and report back to us in the fall. Even that 80 gn load should kill like a thunderbolt!




HH!

(Recovered from the javelina in two pieces with the help of a Garrett metal detector, stuck the jacket back on)
