Now I shoot Winchester PowerMax Hollow Points. I dont even track them anymore, they just fall over. Plus they are great at short range as well.

I was bored one day so filled a gallon milk jug up with red coolaide and made a makeshift shelf out of 2 pieces of scrap wood and nailed it to my target board and set the jug on top of it. 1 round and the jug exploded into pieces, the wooden shelf spllintered into like 7 pieces as well and it punched a hole the size of a quarter through the half inch thick board I was using to staple my targets too.
