Are they the XTP Mag? I shoot them in my 460 but blow up regular XTP's because of the velocity they are made for.
Don't always believe what they say they are rated for. I spoke to Hornady about the .452 225grn FTX that my brother is shooting in his inline and was told that it can't be right. I told the tech the load and weapon. He tipped and tacked on his computer and said "Humh" He said that they are rated for up to 1600fps in the 45 Long Colt. We are driving them over 1850fps up to 1950fps and still blowing through Illinois deer out to 187yds and yet to recover a projectile or track a deer!!!! I blew through a buck with my 460 this last gun season, hit in the brisket. Blew 5" of brisket out, tore out/open 4 ribs then still left a hole the size of your thumb on the way out of the hide!!!! Hit at a 45* angle to my left. Never took a step!!!
