I hear that the hollow point .40 caliber is good for taking out dolphins and baby seals with one shot...;^) .

waste of good meat, .22 would do for that. Reason for all hollow point is to make sure sidearms function with them.

All semi autos will eat FMJ, not so much with HP.

My wife had a Colt Commander with a terrible feed ramp. It handles 230 gr FMJ with that nice, smooth ogive. Tried some JHP rounds. The flat edge of the hollow point opening catches on the flat between the tiny feed ramp and the edge of the chamber opening. Useless. The feed ramps on a Glock chamber have a smooth surface, but don't fully support the case head. They always feed properly, the the case head balloons at the unsupported area next the feed ramp. The brass is unsuitable/unsafe for reloading after use in that variety of Glock barrel.
