I picked some estate XTPs last fall before the crunch, as well as a packet of H-FMJs..
digging through a a few different sources including the 2011 handgunners manual thoughtfully provided by another member has revealed some enlightening nuggets, such as "if your machine doesn't get good accuracy with XTPs it provably won't like anything.

but in looking for load data I noticed that for a given projectile weight (say 115gn) the HP load is generally higher than the LRN or FMJ load.

any thoughts as to why?
do HPs compress a bit limiting peak pressure as compared to more solid designs?
