Hopefully all goes well and I will be typing with all 10 fingers
Well I think I screwed up already. I bought 300 XTP's, not 300 XTP MAG. Will I be able to safely load these at lower velocities or should I just return them?
The XTP MAG's are designed to expand at our normal speeds and for full house loads in the 460S&W. The Regular XTP's are designed to expand at 45 COLT velocities. Both are safe, as far as the bullet goes, but both will work, provided you are happy with the design parameters. You Make the call..t
