Are XTP bullets memes? Looking for something to load for 44mag burr defense and thinking this may work better than a gas checked hard cast lead bullet.
Fucking shit I didn't mean XTP's, I meant the the Lehigh Xtreme Penetrators. Also looking at XTP's but those are JHP's.

Of course it's a fucking gimmick. Just use a normal fucking bullet. Wide, flat noses are your friend.
They are insane penetrators. Suck for self defense due to massive over penetration. But for bears or big animals they're perfect

No, a heavy lead bullet would be perfect.
I haven't used them but I have heard really good things about them
>>34445777
From whom? Their advertising department?

use for self-defense and then get back to me

they're great in .380 because they can finally pass the fbi ballistic gel tests consistently.
pretty much guaranteed over-penetration in any larger caliber

FBI gel tests are stupid. Real bodies are not like gel. Instead of trying to compensate for an inadequate cartridge with a gimmick bullet, why not get a good cartridge and some good bullets?

Over penetration is a meme, and you're both group-think sheep
I mainly use mine as tiny screwdrivers in home decor.

Videos, user reviews
It's not hard to look up results other people are getting from them you moron.

380 fmj's overpenetrate all the fucking time, are you high?
>>34445849
You're stupid.
Why don't you read about how the gel was developed and replicate before saying stupid shit?
>"it doesn't perform EXACTLY like a human body of ______ dimensions!"
It's not supposed to. It's supposed to give a general idea of the expansion and penetration of a particular round. If it goes through 35" of gel it'll probably go through that within ~2-5" if I'm shooting solid human meat with a ribcage.
