DA>I've tested .45acp Silver Tip Hollow Points (STHP) in wet
DA>newspaper. They expand excellently, matching Federal's
DA>Hydra-Shoks in expanded diameter, and they retain their jacket.
DA>But the .45 STHP's are only 185 grains as opposed to 230 grain.
The .40 155gr STHP's lost their jackets in water, and did not expand when
they penetrated an obstacle first.  The Hydrashoks (both 180 and 155gr)
did expand.  I switched.  But not to Hydrashoks, maybe for winter, but 
for now I went with Cor-Bon 135gr's at about 1325fps...  :-)
