+1 mehavey. There's more to a jacketed hollow point than the obvious. In most cases they use different jacket materials, construction methods, profiles and even lead alloys.
Can't think of a way to make a uniform hollow point from a FMJ without swaging equipment so if I want a JHP and the performance that comes with a modern design I'll buy them, it'll be cheaper and better that way.
