This subject came up before. At that time Atomic Ammo was making
148-Gr. HBWC loaded backward to create a hollow point.
There is also a video on you tube showing gel tests of the load.
Seems to be controversial. Some pros and lots of cons.
Here is a picture of some HBWC hollow points. Not great
details. A local guy reloads them and sells them at gun shows.
I shot one into a "target" with the 642 (shown) from 3 (three) feet.
The "target" was 3/4" plywood with 4" x 4" patch consisting of
a layer of leather, a layer of denim, and two layers of cotton.
in back of the plywood 12" of compressed sponge rubber.
in back of the rubber another 3/4" plywood.
The shot went clean through the whole thing and kicked up
dirt about 40 feet down range.
The exit wound was a nasty jagged hole about an inch diameter.
Not real scientific, but it tells me something about the load.
