When tooling is brand new, the MPR will expand at 1050-1100 fps. However, the petal cutters wear pretty quick and are extremely expensive at $200 each. We decided a little while ago that customers would rather have a bullet that is priced well but will still expand at 1150-1200 than an expensive bullet that will expand at 1050. If we had to change out the petal cutter every 200k bullets it would make them more expensive in tooling cost as well as machine down time. That being said, the MPR out performs the XTP in pretty much every way. The gold dot is definitely a better bullet from a short barrel. That's what I would use. BUT, give us some time. I'm working on another version of the MPR with a little larger hole and a mechanically crimped jacket. It's going to open at 1000 fps or maybe even less. We've made some hand punches and tested them out and they expand almost too well. We are still a ways away from introducing it. We've started tooling our own machines and we just bought $500k in new CNC's, turning centers, and a wire edm so that we could make anything we need ourselves. We also have some pretty cool plans for making some bolt action rifles and other various gun parts. Also lathe turned bullets with stupid high BC's. It's all gonna take some time but keep your fingers crossed that we get it done.
