That's kind of what I was thinking as well. I mostly use the 200 grain SST now, which penetrates even better than the 200 XTP. Expansion/tissue damage is great too. Even when loaded down to 80 grains T7 it still does awesome with little recoil. Not bashing the Lehighs - I used the 185 grain CF bullets a few times with awesome results - just don't see what this bullet will do apart from the options I already have...

Accuracy seems to be awesome though, nice post!
