The golden tip?

Hi y’all 
Does anyone have experience with the Gold tipped pellets (.22 cal.). AKA H&N Hornets, predator metalmags, crosman gold tips, or any others of that design. H&N Hornets are pricey are they worth the price? How do they compare to the cheaper metal mags? Rick Eustler showed a ballistic test Hornets included and said they were devastating. Any way thought I would ask y’all to shine some light on the subject.
Thanks
