BUT - what I'm trying to understand is - are hollow points inherently more accurate, and why, than the same bullet with the cavity tipped with a plastic point covering the hole like the A-Max?

A couple things come into play here. One minor--(major when the difference between 1st and 2nd is measured in .001" group size). Lighter bullets can pull a slightly higher velocity while longer bullets are inherently more stable for distance. HP's give both. Also, the center of gravity is shifted farther toward the base of the bullet reducing point wobble and faster/better stabilization. The "plastic point", aka ballistic tip is generally there to assist/control bullet expansion upon impact when the bullet design is intended for hunting or varmints...
