Ah, now there's a thought. I checked some out at the store that used to be Sportsmans Warehouse, this morning. They were 250 grainers, though. I wanted something for the .45 ACP, but it looks like these were designed for a different type of firearm. I figure the 200 grainers, instead of the normal 230, will make for some light recoiling, fast moving and nicely expanding rounds.

ETA: Ok. Looks like they were designed for the .460 S&W. Supposed to go 2200 fps, in one of those. I don't think they would work so hot in .45 ACP @ maybe 900 fps.
