Nice shooting Semi!! I'm kind of in the same boat as you with the 200 XTP's - they have performed well for me, and I've never lost a deer with them, but I'm always looking for something even better. If you check out the bottom of the first page of my post from a month ago

You'll see what happened to a 200 XTP hitting bone at high velocity. In this case it hit the spine and fragmented badly. It did, however, still retain enough of its mass to penetrate almost the full length of the deer. I was just not too happy about picking tons of lead fragments out of the meat.

So I'm still looking for that "perfect" bullet.....
