    I have tried a couple of other hollow point styles. One is a much longer but narrower tip. Interestingly, this didn't perform that well, with 2 of 5 rds completely penetrating my wet pack and going deep enough into the dirt that I couldn't fish them out without a spade. The 3 that did not over penetrate, one expanded normally and 2 partially expanded and the cavities were packed solid with wet paper.
    The next one I tried is based on the federal Hydra-shok design. With a little post in the center which is supposed to reduce instances of point packing and failure to expand. I only tried 2 of these and they seemed to work fine. The cavity in the paper seemed to be larger than the others, though I did not measure anything. OD of these was around 0.36"

    I'm going to try some flat and cup points as well. Any other suggestions for hollow point designs or tip shapes to try out?
