Maybe these slits were causing gas blow by.
I'll try the XTPs next week between archery hunts if I have the time.
Put Bore Butter in those hollow cavities of those skirts (or) a wonderwad behind that Powerbelt bullet. Then think about using 75 grains with that FFF/P powder.
Any 330-350 grain copper or Platinum Powerbelt should kill deer just fine and dandy. The reason I don't buy them is the price.
