If you have a thing for bonded bullets, go with the Fed Tactical over Gold Dot. Again, the Tactical round opens more reliably.

I don't doubt the HST is going to be a great round. It' will have to prove itself to me in repeated clothing over water tests first though. I have tested Gild Dot's in several calibers and they always expanded. Even through the heavy clothing tests. The Gold Dot's reliable expansion for me is what all new comers aspire to.
