Yeah, it would, assuming the JHP is good. The problem with some JHP
bullet deisgns is through certain materials they just fail to expand and
cruise right on through like ball ammo.
Looks nostalgic, but I'd rather have a box of Speer GDHPs... those bullets
get tested quite frequently.
On the other hand.... 44 is pretty brutal, so expansion or not, you're
still making some pretty decent holes!
