    The Hollow point 340 went through 9 baffles
    The hole size was identical through the first few baffles and then the Hollow point left a bigger hole

    The Hollow point is shorter and fatter

    Surprised how close in size they look. Is the HP worth the effort? How about cupping the flatpoint like you can get in 32-20? With a large drill bit on a depth stop. Be interesting to see that alongside these two.
