Not really. It is just a 300gr version of the other XTPs. They expand quite nicely for me when driven fast enough. They aren't a going to expand much when launched from a 4" barrel though.

They penetrate well because�..they're 300grains smile


Hornady makes makes 2 versions of the XTP and the mag version is deigned to penetrate deep with very minimal expansion. The animals that were shot with them in the above video hit the ground at the shot. Yep I'd say that is excellent performance


The "mag" is only available at .452" - 45 colt, 454, 460, etc.


That's why I originally thought it was a .454, because the .44 bullet is not referred to by Hornady as the "Mag". The .45's are made in 2 versions but the .44 is made in only 1.
