I’m not planning to shoot beyond 450yd but looking forward to see how they perform at different ranges and whether they are a true all rounder as advertised

Id be bloody sceptical of that claim especially from the x vs the m......maybe they expand after punchingthrew 12 inches of bull moose shoulder and bone but i doubt any meaningful expansion on our small light game species.

I would love to be proven wrong tho.
