I think of bullets made for accuracy and not for self defense, when I think of Nosler brand bullets . There are several companies that make hollow point bullets with only accuracy in mind. Companies like Montana Gold and Precision Delta also come to mind. If you are going to load your own SD ammo, you probably would be better off with a bullet like Gold Dot or XTP Hollow points. They are designed to expand. You do need to make certain the bullet is traveling fast enough for it to expand properly even with bullets designed with expansion in mind.

Personally when it comes to SD hollow point ammo I prefer to just rely on factory ammo. If I feel the caliber I am carrying might not penetrate enough with HP bullets, I will opt for a soft point or flat point bullet. I have even carried range ammo when I had nothing better to use. Range ammo in a gun is much better than an empty one.
