As far as pass through would depend on what bullet you are using?? With Bloodlines they will pass through with out a doubt. But all other bullets like you've seen in Rons testing????
Whitetail aren't that tough or that large. Being that I never intentionally shoot to bust a shoulder and always try for a double lung shot I have the utmost faith in my XTPs. I got a complete pass through on my biggest whitetail to date (200+ lbs - 10 pt.) using a little 200 gr 10mm XTP out of my .45 GM LRH barrel and 80 gr of Pyro P, The deer only ran about 50 yard and piled up.
I've also had pass throughs with my 300 gr .429" XTPs.
Having taken about a dozen or so deer with my MLs the only time I didn't get a pass through with my ML is using a .490" PRB on a large doe at a distance of somewhere around 75 yards shooting 80 gr of FFg.
