So if Barnes may fail to open at close range then it is possible that was the case with the XTP.
Remember on the barnes.... it a big
MAY most often you would not have a problem.
On the XTP's you probably had the opposite happen - they separated.... the lead came out of the copper and a portion of the lead exited out the other side...
You can see the separation in these pictures but remember I was torture testing them. Also this is not the rule - but it does happen...
