I recently picked up a box of Hornady 185gr FTX. I haven't shot them through my Kimber yet and am curious to see how they do, but here is a link to their page.

Gun was designed and used 230gr ball through many a military guys career. Did the job then, still does the job. If you have Hydra-shok and they do not expand, they are still carrying the same weight and velocity as a ball round... Which I believe would be sufficient for the task at hand.I'm a heavy bullet guy. Federal HST 230 is my preference. If you can't find them. Hydra-shok are good as well as Gold Dots. The rap on Hydra-shok is they say they tend to clog and not expand when shot through heavy winter clothing. Meh, it's still 230 going around 1000 FPS. I don't want to be in the way even with a winter coat.
