I'm of the opinion that the Cor-Bon Pow'R'Ball is an even better design than the E-FMJ. At present the Cor-Bon alternative is a .45ACP thing only but they're promising to eventually get away from JHPs altogether in favor of the Pow'R'Ball type projectile.

This is my opinion will be a good thing. As with the E-FMJ, it's "clogproof" on clothes...but the Cor-Bon version expands to a much wider end stage. The one advantage to the E-FMJ is that it works across a broader velocity range; if I had a 16" barrel 9mm/40/45ACP the E-FMJ would be my top pick, it won't "come unglued" in the target at the extra velocity.

New Jersey is a bit more likely to class the Cor-Bon as a "hollowpoint" than they would the E-FMJ.
