So Hornady now has recommended velocity 700 to 1500 fps written on the box of the 240 XTP. My Marlin with a typical load of H110 clocks at 1680 fps. The rifle really does like this load, as do my revolvers.
Any hunting duty with this gun will be Southeastern Whitetails. Do I need to be concerned about that bullet failing to hold together at 1700 fps. I could have sworn in the old days they rated that bullet for more speed.
Any input from people who use that bullet at rifle speeds would be appreciated.
