I have heard good things about the stopping power of the 125 grain Winchester Silvertips.
I saw some 110 grain .357 Magnum Winchester loads labelled "Personal Defense".
Does anyone know anything about these? Particularly with regard to
Overpenetration through a person.
Overpenetration through walls (in the case of a miss)
Expansion reliability when fired from 2.5", 4" or 6" barrels.
Recoil, muzzle blast and flash.
Before I plunk down $30 a box for these things (much less consider them for use in life and death situations), I wanted some feedback. The hollowpoint opening looks awfully small, not like the wide mouth of the Silvertips I have in .45 ACP.
