Not all expanding bullets are polymer tipped, some just have exposed lead.
No real need for hollow points (for expansion/tissue damage) at rifle bullet velocities.
Those little bullets make some nasty wounds. Don't know how "deep" they'd penetrate, but compared to a ground hog's head/body they do massive damage.
I've shot them in the back of the head at ranges of over 100 yds. but less than 200 and there's no eyes, lower/upper jaw - just a big red gory hole that bleeds like a 4 or 5" wide paint brush for the first 8 or 10 feet they run (run in whichever direction they hit the ground at.) They're dead, they just don't know it and the brain/spinal column weren't hit so shock/blood loss gets'em after a few feet. Done it twice. Same results both times.
