The Following was Copied directly from Hornady's site as you suggestive I look at. My statements came from the Hornady loading manuals, and there site. The XTP regardless of the marketing BS you read in descriptions of saboted bullets is still the XTP. The XTP is listed If you open one of Hornady's Manuals with a suggested speed range for desired results. The BP ML just happens to be very similar to Velocity of the Magnum pistol cartridges that the XTP was designed for. Made for ML's is Marketing BS. Thats all. Try buying just a box of the XTP that is referance as made for ML's you will end up with a box of Pistol Bullets they only make one XTP line of bullets Period! ( this line of bullets includes those for standard cartridges and those for Magnum cartridges) They use Marketin BS to baffle you and take more money from your pocket by fancy descriptions.
Please take special notice that XTP is the registered Trade mark of this description, a Pistol Bullet!!!! You can't have the very same Identical registered trade mark on different products!
XTP®
