200 gr berry's plated 45cal hollow point

This bullet is accurate in both my 1911s. One is a Kimber and the other is a Springfield. When this bullet is crimped on the shoulder of the ogive like it has to be when used in a chamber with no lead like the 45 acp chambers are cut, it makes for a short nose on the cartridge. The problem I have with that scenario is the cartridge doesn't feed as well as the longer nosed bullets do.
I bought them because of the hollow point, and they're a bit less expensive than the berry's hybrid hollow points, but they don't expand well at 45acp velocities like the hybrid hollow points do. My favorite targets are milk jugs full of water, which a hybrid 185gr berry's hollow point will blow to smithereens. This regular hollow point has a smaller hole and takes a velocity higher than a 45acp is capable of to fully open up, so they would be better in a colt at higher velocity if you like blowing up milk jugs.
