HP's are way better killers with body shots on all manner of small game and varmints. Some HP's are way more effective than others too. Winchester Power Points and Remington Yellow Jackets for instance, have wide, deep HP's, expand fast and wide and are far better/quicker killers than the bulk pack Federals with the tiny, shallow HP's.
My assessment too. Big high velocity hollow points will perform better than the shallow hollow points. Speed will make the hollow points expand quicker and larger. My targets are mainly jackrabbits and rockchucks. I have experienced POI changes when shooting different rounds, HV or not. My preferred rounds are the Browning or Winchester Hyper Velocity HP's with CCI Mini-Mags second.
