I stopped by Bobcat for some 9mm 124gr bullets a couple weeks back. He was out of stock. So I went to Cabelas and grabbed a box of 250 to get me by. I goofed and instead of RN I bought RNFP. I loaded them up anyway for fun.
Holy hell the difference in what it does to the paper is amazing. Instead of a tiny hole with big radial rips they leave a nice open circle with a definitive grease ring. Almost like somebody took a hole punch to the target. I'm hooked. It is SOOOOO much easier to call your hits with those larger holes. (And cheaper than buying a 45 LOL)
Im finding that plated HPs are actually a little cheaper than FPs.
So here is the actual questions: Anyone have any experience with both HP and FP? Do the HPs also punch a nice clean hole since they pretty much also have a flat profile? And I havent tried the FPs on cardboard competition targets. Do they (both HP/FP) also perform better than RNs on cardboard?
I'm thinking I am switching to something other than RNs. I really like how they work.
