I guess it must just be me, but I have never seen one expand. I load them in .357, 50AE and 40 SW. The 40 load is a real light one for the wife, so I wouldn't expect it to do much. The 357 and 50 loads are fired through my Desert Eagles so they are loaded fairly hot. I can go downrange to the backstop and dig out the bullets and they are still solid with no expansion. Maybe the wooden backstop is sealing them up? I have shot other brands and some expand, some don't.
