Brad,
Hi. Based on what I've read thus far, the phenomenon of simulated clothing retarding HP expansion is apparently across the board, not just for Federal's Hydra Shok (their Hi-Shoks perform even more miserably).
The fabric apparently caps off the HP hollow, retarding its ability to scoop up material.
One notable exception is Remington's Golden Saber, for which simulated clothing actually amplifies HP expansion. The bullet has a particularly sharp lip, and I believe the askew splits in the lip may assist in shearing any fabric that might 'cap off' the hollow.
