1.  Expansion and

Even your pre-ground sausage in a plastic bottle "test" showed minimal "expansion" and that was likely caused by hitting the hard backstop not flesh. 


I'll keep to my theory that the 20gr XTP pretty much sails straight thru without much if any expansion and overpenetrates, which theory is backed by more evidence than you have to show the contrary.


Suit yourself.

I did find this idiot on the internet who claims they do expand :  Just another internet idiot.
