Kinda the way I look at it, of course the most important thing is always accuracy, but you really need to drive the "pointy" bullets at just the right speed for optimum results, to me they work well at extreme velocity or at slower velocity they seem to only open part way before they get through in the medium velocity but for up to 150 yds the 250 gold dot is a real stop them in there tracks bullet in my experience, for some reason the 200 gr SW has been real good for me at all ranges. I suspect that the 2250 fps that I normally shoot it at is the reason. Lee
