Rats, Possum, Porcupine and raccoon and other critters in this range.
The 110 and 125 Gr loads have done an excellent job of desposing all vermin in this weight range quite effectively. In fact I have taken a couple coyotes and deer with these loads. I would prefer a heaver bullet on the deer but it was all I had at the time.
AS far as putting out the extra $ for XTP and Golddots, for small game like this, they dont even have a chance to open up, also I do shoot alot of this type of bullets, practice makes for perfect, ya know.
I go through 400-700 a month.
