One of the best way to test is to get some medium such as ballistic gelatin or Duxseal, even clay, and fire bullets into it.
The best load will produce a large cavity midway in the medium. Some will produce no cavity, other bullets will produce a large surface cavity.
Try your bullets on crows, groundhog, deer and other animate crtiiers as the law allows. Autopsy what you've shot.
