I can envision are Monty Python-esque sketch.
Bad guy: You shot me!
Good guy:  Yeah! So why didn't you fall down?
Bad guy:  Because, you ninny, your silly bullet didn't expand.
But seriously, I've tested all sorts of bullets in wet newspaper. The
difference between a normal Remington 185 gr JHP in factory loaded
.45acp (at 1000 feet/sec), or a Winchester 185 gr Silvertip hollowpoint
factory bullet and the expensive $.75 per bullet "premium" ammo such as
SXT, Golden Saber, Gold Dot, Hydra-shok, is minimal to non-existant.
