Bullet configuration question
What is the proper title for the configuration of the projectile on the bottom? It is pictured with a TMJ.

It's hard to see in the picture....
Does the bottom bullet have a hollow point? They appear to be jacketed. What is the core made out of? It looks really light colored.
If it is a hollow point, the hollow appears to be very wide, ala Speer Gold Dots which were derived from the 'flying ashtray', a semi wadcutter with a very wide opening.
This is all conjecture. Can you take some pictures at a different angle, lighting? Except for the bottom looking hollow the two bullets look almost the same.

Kind of looks like a solid copper bullet, but I need a better picture

Looks like it might be a TCHP - Truncated Cone Hollow Point
But more/better pictures would be needed for more positive ID

It is shaped like a TC FMJ. But, it has the center core filled in. The caliber is .40 S&W.

You mean a semi-jacketed TCSP - Truncated Cone Soft Point (exposed lead nose)?

Looks to me like a bad TC or one that has been messed with.
As mentioned, a 45 degree "Micro-view" of the tip would help matters.
