Clark,
From what I have read of plated bullets, I would guess that the spinoff of some of the plating to make "Shrapnel like holes" might indicate that the rifling has cut through the plating (some guns have shallow rifling and some have really deep rifling).
Is this a possible explanation, and an indication that some guns might produce this effect (ones with deep rifling) and some guns might not (ones with shallow rifling)?
Of course, this is predicated on the supposition that your Glock has rifling rather than the polygonal "rifling" Glock uses on most of their guns.
This discussion has made me curiouser than before.
