[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1288158, member: 7999"] Look forward to your test results. It is my opinion that any tip plugging the hollow point inhibits the expansion. There is some give and take here as the hollow point of the tipped bullet is a larger hole than the non tipped bullet, but the tip must still get out of the way for the expansion to take place. In other words if you remove the tip from the hollow point before shooting it, it would open easier than it does with the tip in place. The smaller the hollow point the more difficult it is to get to reliably open on impact. So the non tipped small hollow point does not need to get rid of the "plug in the hole" before it can get hydraulics into it and cause expansion. It is just quite small and has potential for trouble. The smaller the more potential. Steve [/QUOTE]
