300g XTP--Jugs
About 1/4 second after impact.
All quiet.
The bullet ended it's flight by sitting there on the horse by the jug. It did hit the last jug, but didn't do much damage at all; the jug still holds water. The first two jugs were wasted. As before, the powder charge was 80g Blackhorn, and the range was 25 yard. A video is available for viewing.

There are two 300 grain .452 XTP bullets; the 300 grain XTP with two cannelures and the 300 grain XTP magnum bullet with one cannelure. Given the high retained weight, the bullet used in the OP is likely the 300 grain .452 magnum bullet.
The magnum bullet is another ball game; it's very tough. i've used both bullets on large hogs. There is also a 300 grain .430 XTP bullet with two cannelures.

Got to thinking, and became nervous. Wondered if the bullet was taken from the wrong box or some such. Bent the lead away from the petal so for to actually see the two cannelure.
