Then you said this:
Because it does. Not all material acts the same. Would you expect water and drywall to have the same effect on the hollowpoint? If you do, then you might want to test your theory first.
Hornady's Critical Defense and Critical Duty ammo addresses the issue pretty well. The bullets use a polymer plug that prevents the hollow point from closing in on itself and acts upon the bullet in a fairly consistent manner regardless of what material it encounters. Standard hollowpoints typically do not.
Closing in on itself is a poor choice of words and incorrectly discribes the action that takes place.
I researched the internet and found my answer, which is: The plug is used to prevent clogging or filling up, NOT to prevent the bullet from CLOSING IN ON ITSELF as you had indicated. This is the correct answer I am not confused.
