Alex35X got it right.

I actually use PDX1 hollowpoints (been loading them since back in the '80s, when they were labeled Black Talons), these are bonded/jacketed. They don't fragment or shed the copper jacket off the lead core when used (expand to over 1.6 cal dia.). Should a person be hit with a round and survive, the ER doctor only has to remove one piece, not multiple pieces.

If I had a choice of taking a hollowpoint round, it would be one that remains intact.

FBI trials showed the PDX1 retains around 99.9% of pre-fired weight.
