Title: Reloading bullet type RN vs HP
Post by: Adrenolin on February 15, 2015, 09:41:17 PM

What's you preference? Simple, inexpensive plated Round Nose or slightly more expensive plated Hollow Points?

I'm not talking carry rounds but general range ammo for the 380, 9, 40, 45 semi-auto variety of handguns, not revolvers. To date, I've only been using RN for this caliber selection, mostly from X-Treme Bullets. I've read that the HP is generally more accurate and pokes cleaner paper holes. ;D

I shoot the Hornady 9mm 125 gr Hornady HAP which is identical to the 124 gr XTP minus the serrations.  Prefer to practice with a round nearly identical to my carry round.

Round nose are generally considered "more reliable" but that would also depend on who finicky your Rosco is.

I think I'll give the HPs a try on my next order to see how I like them.
