Excellent point Doug, I have always read if a HP gets plugged it acts like a FMJ. So if it expands great, if it doesnt great! There is no perfect bullet for every situation, FMJ can overpenetrate and in a crowded area this could be tragic, if the bullet is fast and light heavy clothing can reduce penetration, I usually stick to Gold Dots as they tend to not get plugged as some closed HP designs and being bonded they hold together and penetrate. I tend to go with the mid to heavy weights in the caliber I shoot for penetration and energy. The new EMFJ and HST are too new and dont have a track record in actual shootings and as we know bullets do sometimes perform differntly in the real world than they do in ballistic gel or other media, They do sound good and time will tell.
