I explained this in a thread titled "Thompson/Center XTP Bullets in Mag Express Sabot explained" last year. I too had the same question. No one had an answer really. So I tried both regular and mags into water jugs and posted the resulting bullets and how they expanded.
I am not sure how to link to another thread so I'll try a url here goes otherwise search for the title.
Thompson/Center XTP Bullets in Mag Express explained
My deer load is 240 grain .452 XTP Mag over 100 grains by volume of Blackhorn 209. I get 1850fps from this out of my CVA optima. Its deadly on deer. Longest shot so far taken with this is 150 yards.
