Was away in the hills for a few days. Home to see this thread went well and save those 125gr xTP loads for coyotes. Or squirrels..... :-) |

I've had those xtp 125's fail to exit regularly on coyotes. 5.5" blackhawk, 22gr h110. Never chronoed it but guessing 1650ish. Under 20 yards is where they really come apart.

I generally go for penetration over expansion. I like a hole in and a hole out, it helps in tracking if needed. Personally I would not go lighter than a 158 hp/xtp or Speer deep curl. Not that you could find any to buy right now if you don’t already have a stash.

Are you talking about the xtp hp or the flat point. It makes a huge difference..

seems as though it's almost impossible to find tough softpoints these days - everybodys making hollowpoints..

I tested a 125 jhp on a coyote in a trap. I was at a distance of about ten feet when I launched it from a 4 inch model 66 S&W. The recovered bullet was found under the off side skin layer. The hollow point was filled with meat and hair and the bullet was not expanded any at all. Other than the marks from the lands the bullet was perfect.
