If all you are doing is punching holes in paper, I wouldn't worry about using the 250xtp. HOWEVER, if you plan to shoot something that moves, it is a poor choice for the reasons stated above. I seem to remember that Hornady publishes the maximum velocity for the 250 xtp at about 1700 to 1800 fps for proper expansion. For hunting use the XTP mags or the various FTX bullets. There are others, such as the Barnes that would probably be even better, but they get very expensive. Might be worth it for a hunt, though.
