Finished shooting M40 today with Ranger, Gold Dots, and Sliver Tips.........All were very good, very accurate.....My impression is from the paper and recoil was that the Silver Tips was the slower of the three.....but very comfortable to shoot.....the Rangers and the always available Gold dots performed pretty close to the same.......same recoil and the holes in the paper were laser cuts......very fast and clean.....and for a deal the Rangers are a good choice.....but to pay extro for them would be a waste of money I think.....Gold Dots are probably just as good and available everywhere......I really liked the Silver Tips myself and would consider buying those first.....recoil was a little softer and of course I could be more accurate........My friend used his Silver Tips to hunt boar and swears by them, saying they mushroomed as expected............powder might be a little "flashy" at night.........hope that helps your evaluation.........
