"Don't understand. They're same diameter just the nose is different. They all are .357. Hopefully the whole bullet will go through the paper instead of just pricking it with the nose's."
They make small, radial tears in the paper to allow the whole bullet to pass through.
Then, the small "flaps" spring back to leave what appears to be a smaller hole.
This happens to some extent with all bullets except full wad cutters, which cut a nice round hole, rather then tearing a hole.
I can see this on a target I shot with plated flat points. The hole is about 1/4 inch in diameter for 38 caliber. But, the bullet made it all the way through the paper. A magnifying glass shows this nicely.
Best,
Rick
