I was watching ammo test on Youtube today in particular the Remington 115Gr Hollow Points. The reason is I have several hundred of these loaded and about 800 more loose bullets to be loaded. Its what I carry in my S&W9VE that is my truck gun. I also shoot them from my Marlin Camp Carbine.
In the vidoes they seem to penetrate to around 12+" and expand very well with picture perfect mushrooms. Loaded in the UMC brand they are well under $20 for a box of 50. Why would a person pay a dollar or more for the specialty rounds when these look like they should work just as well? They are cheap enough to use for practice too. Here are some of the videos I watched.
