Even Nosler says they will have up to 12" penetration before expanding in gel.
I think I have some of the same ones. I decided to make some up after seeing Noveske made these "glow tip" 220 grainers. Figured I should be able to make a similar performing load. I plan to make up some gel once I find a range down here in SC and see how they perform at different velocities.

Aside from that, I plan to get some 212 grain ELD-X and play with them.
I just moved down from Illinois, so I've been kicking around the idea of suppressing now that I'm in a free state, but part of me is holding out hope that they'll be knocked off the NFA list. I don't have the patience to wait for all that to clear.
These are the guys I made up. I haven't had much opportunity to test them other than getting my sights on a 100Y before I moved.
