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.
It's incredible that the projectile penetrated that much material

Thanks for the information.
