Yeah, turns out that if you make a bullet out of solid copper and make it in a shape that will make it 'cut' or 'drill' in a radial pattern while penetrating, you can massively increase it's penetrative performance, so while a regular .32ACP ball round, just jacketed lead, has mediocre penetration, and the hollowpoints don't have enough speed to expand reliably, nor enough material to expand worth a piss (at the cost of penetration, on top of that), the copper fuckhead will get it far in there to the point that it's adequate to the FBI recommended minimum.

Then you have bullets which already penetrate perfectly well, such as .44 Magnum, pic related, you load them with a fancy copper bullet like this, this shit will hollow out a bear, though it probably would be unsafe to use against people.
