Hmm, i guess i wouldn't use this 230g XTP bullet in my rifle no matter if the powder charge was only 60g; i would be too nervous even if Hornady say it is OK.

OK, following is a LINK to a test of the 250g XTP, 250g TEZ, and the 245g controlled fracturing bullet. Only 50g of powder was used, and it wasn't enough, even at 25 yard, for the XTP, nor the TEZ to work. The Lehigh Contoled Fracturing bullet worked good.
