Some make nice looking mushrooms, some don't. Like the person above said, I wouldn't want to be in front of any of them coming my way.

Lots of people speculate and dislike the LG tests because they use clear block gelatin not up to par with the FBI 10% gel. I'm not one in that camp. Also, we all know the protocol of shooting thru 4 pieces/layers of denim stretched over the 10% gel and I understand you need a set of standards/specs for uniform consistency. But bullets that work in bare gel well are good enough for me as nobody has worn a Canadian Tuxedo down here since 1993.
And after seeing first hand what a solid bullet, (.44Special) with a 65-70% Meplate does to pelt and bone at handgun velocities... I'm seriously questioning my use of hollow point anything for self defense. YMMV.
