What is the difference between the XTP and the XTP Mag? I have always considered the XTP a better hunting round but I have read reports of it fragmenting as it is not bonded?
Does anyone have any penetration test comparisons between the XTP, XTP Mag and the Gold Dot?
The difference between them is the Mag has a thicker jacket and performs better at higher velocities. If you push a regular xtp too fast, at short ranges you may get separation. xtp performs best at roughly 700 to 1700 fps. xtp mag at 1100 to over 2000 fps.
