I wonder why they got no blood trail. Especially with a pass through.
I wonder Cayugad, if it is the higher speeds we are pushing these bullets. I talked to a game official (who also was a sniper in the military) about it at check-in. He said XTP's are a great bullet at shorter ranges and speeds of up to 1200 fps.
Maybe these projectiles were not meant for the hotter loads. It would be nice if someone here could let us know if higher speeds do in fact hinder certain expansion performance.
