Hollow points?

I've used Silver tips, all I've seen offered lately is 150 grain. They will tear some meat up. I usually only use them when I'm near the border of a hunting area. A little edge on killing power, but less usable meat.

A lot of bullet choices now on days. It is all a little overwhelming.
