    How can you tell which HP’s are designed to expand, and which ones aren’t? I’m about to load some Hornady 165gr XTP that we’re given to me. But after those I plan on ordering some Extreme HP’s from Wes. I’m ASSUMING that the Hornady are designed to expand...

    Ok, so when loading these Xtreme hollow points, do you use hollow point data and COAL?

    I would assume yes, but just want to be sure.

    Another "from experience" I have found the 124gr HP's to shoot more accurately in 3 different guns, 2 Shields and a Glock 19 than the 124 RN's. Marginally, but better across the board.

    Aside from the accuracy gains. They also supposedly have a heavier plating, so that they can be pushed to higher velocities, if that’s an issue for you. Plus they make much cleaner holes in paper than a standard round nose.

    The last reason is the main reason I buy them as opposed to standard RN

    I like them because they look more badass than RN 😎
    Seriously though, I can load them exactly like 124gr Gold Dots and they perform the same. Great for practice.

    I thought all HP were for personal defense, not for accuracy. Learn things all the time here. I would still think they would work fine for personal defense.
