I hope Santa is bringing you a new chronograph this year.
Two points of contention: first, 147 grain bullet? Not in this caliber. 125's please. Second, XTP bullets don't expand; they are known for penetration. Bullet technology has moved way beyond the XTP. I would imagine very few people carry XTP's. Test some relevant loads por favor.
