Default RE: 200 grain Hornady SST or 180 grain Gold dot?

Either one should work well, but I understand the desire to tinker around with something new even if what you have is working okay. The Gold Dots won't shoot as flat as the SST's, but if you're shooting at 150 yards and under, it won't really matter. If you want to try and shoot out to 200 or so, the SST's are going to be a better bet. I like the SST's because they shoot like a lazer beam in my CVA. You can check a post I put up like a week ago on the 200 grain SST terminal perfomance - I shot a deer wounded by a car and wasn't too impressed with the performance initially. However quite a few guys wrote to share their more positive experiences with this bullet - I decided futher testing is required
