Light jacket? Ever measured the jacket on a XTP MAG or FTX bullet? I know of several .458 300gr HPs with jackets the same or thinner jackets. Compare the .452 250gr or 300gr FTX to the .458 325gr FTX. The difference is not what you would imagine. You wanna see thick? Take one look at the beast of a jacket on a .452 240gr XTP MAG.
