My guess is this is mostly the case TLee, I carry 140 gr Barnes hp's at 1250 fps and 200 gr nosler hp's at 1025 fps in my 40 cal, call me crazy, or believe or or not, the 200 gr Nosler hp's out penetrated the 140 Barnes copper hollow points in my testing here at the house.
The old Nosler is nothing special, but, it shoots more accurately and tames the snap of the forty cal recoil, it now shoots [feels] like a 45 ACP upon firing.
