I can't find ratings on the ammo anywhere (just like their 10mm I tested) but we will see what it actually gives. The 10mm versions were pretty weak :( If anyone finds some other untested heavy for caliber ammo please post.

The data for the 200 cast was spot on to the advertised I saw...I was expecting a little more from the 180 grains XTP's. ???

Once again, I received some free ammo :o Somehow they shipped me two boxes of the 180gr XTP's so I will run the other one next time out ;D. It's decent .357 compared to their 10mm offerings.
