In the .430 diamater the same applies. 44 special verses the 44 mag and the 444 marlin.

I believe that most of the XTPs sold for use in MLs are the Standard variaty 250 gr. and 300s. they have a better history of accuracy than the Mag version of the XTP because of a thinner jacket alllows them to be made easier and more consistently than there mag counter parts. Yes there are also the Mag versions sold in the 30 packs and others.

The XTP has a solid track record and will keep harvesting game. The Speer Bullet is IMHO a better design for a Multi- purpose Pistol bullet for the General masses. It should hold together better in the MLs with there higher than pistol speeds.

As most of you know I now only hunt/shoot boolitz that I cast and really like the wide meplat Hard Cast design that LBT designed for Harvister. I will be using a different cast boolit this season, it is from a BRP products mold. Just a little lighter still nice Meplat and fits the harvester SBH sabot beautifully.
