Folks,
Here is real world info on the 250 xtp I have used them in a savage smokeless ML since 2001. I have 2 different loads
One is at 2260 fps AA5744 the other over 2350 fps. VV N110.
I think 250xtp is tougher than Hornady gives them credit for. I have killed a pile of deer with that load, most were broadside double lung some were high shoulder all were pass thru
