If reverse HBWC ammo was such a great SD load, EVERY major ammo company would be making such ammo (and they don't).
Speer recognized the value of the big open hollow point (developed from the 'flying ashtray' SWC type bullet with a BIG hole). They refined it, increasing it's sale value, into the Gold Dot bullet. Similar idea, but much more refined in an jhp that was designed to perform repeatably.
