I wouldn't be surprised if one would work about as well as another. The DPX however, did impress me with its accuracy. This is a 160 grain bullet fired into water jugs. It looks just like the dpx 180 grain bullets when recovered.

I've shot some 9mm dpx in the three inch barrel lenght and the bullets expand just the same as from longer barrels(shot through raw beef brisket). I also get really good accuracy and consistent expansion with The various loadings of the speer gold dot.
