Probably something like this.

A light soft point pistol bullet is designed to expand at pistol velocities. (around 1000fps give or take) Load it up to about 4000fps and it's bound to be fairly 'explosive'

Also checkout the 100 grain raptor.

It's an interesting HP which is designed to shed 6 blades of razor sharp shrapnel, while keeping a majority of the bullet intact. You can also turn it around 'backwards' and use it as a FMJ bullet.
