I was under the impression that rifles weren't usually tested with denim.

Yeah, I don't usually recall it being used in rifle tests. Probably because there's no hollow point to 'clog' and a couple layers of denim is no match for a rifle round. Where as, denim could be a much more significant obstacle with lower velocity (and usually lighter for caliber bullets) that pistols use, compared to rifles.
As tangolima, stated. Most if not all rifle 'hollow points' are not designed to expand. They're closer to match grade hollow points which have hollow points because the jacket can be manufactured slightly more consistently for better accuracy.
