I've gotten much better terminal performance (critter dies promptly) with hard cast swc bullets than with holow points or other expanding bullets.

So, to answer OP's questions: i wouldn't bother trying to fill the hollow point with anything. Hot wax is not hot enough to create a problem if you insist on using it.
