Since switching I have been very happy. 100gr TTSX and then 101LRX and both have always left an exit and a easy to follow short blood trail for those that were not dropped in their tracks.
Arken is no longer using usps because of this issue, unfortunately if you ordered one while they did it is 5-6 weeks for usps to deliver. I got mine 5 weeks after it was picked up by usps. Took 4.5 weeks to get out of Texas and then moved through the usps system as normal
The 80gr TTSx often did not pass through WI whitetails on shots over 250yds and a 1/4 bore entrance doesn’t leave much blood trail to follow. I switched to the 100gr TTSx or 101lrx for that reason.
I have an xp-100 in 25-06 AI. I enjoy it and the ai helps in getting 3000fps out of the short barrel but out of a rifle the 25-06 ai is probably the least effective ai cartridge in terms of performance gain over the parent cartridge.
I built an xp 284 with 18inch (plus brake) Brux #19 contour, with a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 and it’s a 10lb forward heavy gun. Not something you want to pack around hunting if you have to walk very much.
