It makes for easier penetration.Does the Vaseline change the performance of the hollow point? Increase or decrease expansion?
You'd think you'd want "reservoir tipped" bullets…….You used "ribbed" bullets, right?
Yes, and not shoot trees and use an earthen backstop. Not a good image when we are struggling to keep our spots on public lands open.The post-OP replies are funny as hell, but I sure wish the OP would exercise some better trigger discipline.
Yes, hollowpoints expand from hydraulic pressure so by packing it with a semi fluid it eliminates the need to penetrate an inch or two before expanding. Not exactly certain why we would want that but cool explosion.It is possible that the non-compressible petroleum in the HP might have provided the initial impetus to expand. I note that muzzle control was good.

This! Why use a tree as a backstop? Just grinds my gears when I see that...I also hope that he owns the tree he is using for a backstop. Trespassers have shot up one of my fir trees so badly that is has lost all commercial value.
Will it lube my guns internals toocan is real flat LOL
I have a few mags of "plugged" HP rounds for use in my winter EDC. Hornady says that by filling the HP cavity with polymer, the bullets are better able to penetrate heavy clothing (think winter wear, Carhartt jackets, etc.) before expanding. I switch them out with regular HPs when spring arrives...Yes, hollowpoints expand from hydraulic pressure so by packing it with a semi fluid it eliminates the need to penetrate an inch or two before expanding.

Polymer is hard medium so it aids penetration until the hollowpoint has expanded enough to take in liquid medium from the muscle tissue. Your using the Hornady ammo exactly how its designed for.I have a few mags of "plugged" HP rounds for use in my winter EDC.
