| It is his way of saying, " HI! There's not a bit of difference between Sierra, Hornady, Speer, etc. for the purpose of shooting varmints with a 10mm pistol or carbine or rifle. The varmint will not be able to tell which bullet hit him." |

| I just have not had a chance to to test the various bullets available to see which ones are the most fragile. I would prefer to use the lightest weights for higher velocity. I will be shooting mostly praire dogs with some coyotes thrown in. Shots are often distant and any expansion is appreciated. |

| Of all the hollowpoints out there, I like the Gold Dots. I just like them for aesthetic reasons. My second pick would be the Winchester Silvertip, again for aesthetics. If you shoot a coyote with a silvertip, then you can pretend that he was a warewolf or something |

| When time permits I will perform tests using wetpack and then varmints. I was just hoping that someone else already found out. Accuracy is the 1st priority with rapid expansion next. |

| I've been looking at them. Have you found them to open fast and shoot well? I was leaning toward the 155gr. Gold Dot but for no other reason than it looks like an opener with that big hole. I have not tried Nosler handgun bullets yet. No reason. I have been a diehard fan of the BT since it came out. Have tested many 1000s on varmints with complete satisfaction. |
