and in case anyone is interested...yes they do expand. I fired one into a stack of 3 water jugs this morning from a 4" XD 9mm. I did not have my chrono at the time, but previously this load did about 1190 fps at 70F, it was only 35 outside this morning so the velocity was probably down a little.

As others have mentioned, shooting these into water jugs causes the core and jacket to separate. It would be cool to see one shot into ballistic gel. The bullet penetrated into the first jug, expanded (blowing it apart) passed through the 2nd jug, and into the third. The core hit the back of the 3rd jug, and then hit a 4x4 I had set behind it to hold the jugs in place, breaking the plastic. I did recover the bullet. I'll be buying more.

Hows the quality on everglades brand "or whoever makes them" vs say Zero.

I've ordered thousands of the 115gr JHP from Everglades, loaded hundreds and shot dozens.

I like them, they have shot accurately enough at 25 yards and I would order them again.
 
I don't see a quantity on that page. If it is 100 that's expensive. If it is 250 it's a good deal.

I know these very shoot well, and are a good deal.

I think it's because they are out of stock. I believe I ordered 500 of them for $59 shipped? I don't totally recall, though.
