Hornady ,Sierra and Nosler! All 210 grain and hollow points. All are available . Now any difference in terminal performance?

If I was using the lighter 210 grain factory bullets, I would want to use some Swift bullets. There a little more money, but there fantastic bullets

Have used XTP and Sierra on whitetail. Sierra has given me more expansion. My most recent deer with the Sierra is the only time I didn’t get two holes with any handgun. Found jacket and lead core separated under hide offside. Later found it had solidly hit bone taking out 1” of the opposite side leg just below the shoulder blade.
Last year hit one farther back than I wanted with a Sierra. One lung and liver “destroyed” and recovered deer 150 yards away. Internal damage was impressive.
Only one with XTP and it was a through and through behind shoulder. Recovered deer about 75 yards away with no blood trail and entrance/exit looked the same.
My velocity is 1300 fps.

No experience with Sierra or Nosler 210’s but have taken a feral hog or two with the Hornady. For a non premium bullet they are accurate and gave good terminal performance. If you were going to use them on Texas sized whitetails and pronghorn or medium sized pigs I’d say you’re good to go. For bigger mule deer or bigger pigs I prefer the Swift AF, or a good cast 250gr. I recently got really good performance from an AF on a nice muley. If I could post pics I’d do so, bullet recovered was picture perfect mushroom after 24” or more of penetration, weighed 207gr.
