They are a bit different. In the XTP bullet, the jacket is rolled over a little bit into the hollow point. I've never been a big fan of the XTP, I think it under-expands and over penetrates. My "stopping power" needs are normally filled by something that expands big and maybe fragments. The CD bullet looks different, the copper is not rolled over the edge of the hollow point and the hole is actually deeper (if you can't resist pulling out the rubber plug like we did

) I would prefer the CD ammo myself.
