I only used it's fps rating to align it with Hornady's toughness rating - its comparison to other XTPs.

Use any bullet you desire. But I would never purchase a 1200-rated bullet for a ML rifle that may need 150 yard shots. Yet some on this board seem to like this bullet for a-lot longer shots than that. Whatever!

Hey, but who am I to judge bullets? I'm great at picking the wrong ones to purchase. Perfect example is my last purchase of 250 gr. Deep Curls. I never knew two different nose variations of the Deep Curl existed. I found out about 12 hours after my bullets arrived at my doorstep.

Lesson learned there.
