I dunno about the bullet design....

Good bullet I wouldn't worry to badly.

155 grain bullet at 1200 FPS. About equal to a .357 mag. 158 grain bullet at 1250FPS.

XTP's, I wouldn't feel undergunned. You could only take broadside, behind the shoulder shots. But really a guy should only do that anway in most instances
