Default Hornady XTP Max Velocity

I have looked around a little bit on here, but I have not seen it. I have seen a lot of pictures and debate on the XTP, and pushing them too fast, causing them to come apart. I did not apply for elk this year, but did apply for deer, so I decided to try the .451-250 XTP for deer only. I have just started working up a load with this. My first few shots were with 90 grs of Goex 2f and a Harvester Crushed Rib Sabot. I am just curious what people's thoughts are on the max velocity, and where the limit is of the XTP coming apart. I am shooting this out of a Traditions Pursuit with the 26" barrel.

I did get a decent group at 50 yards, but I need to do some work, and I am also trying to get a new sight arrangement set up, so waiting on a new front sight to get here, so I am not 10" low at 50 yards, lol.

Thanks,

Marcial
