Have you tried the 135gr +P Gold Dots?
not the most realistic medium..... bunched up towel then a phone book.

the second round was just a winchester FMJ, not one of these, you can see no hollow point on it.

since it was going into a phonebook i would have seen fragments that broke off, i didnt, so i assume that it retained nearly 100%
it made it through 10 or so layers of thick towel and then maybe 3/4 way through a 2 1/2 - 3" phone book.

nope havent tried em yet. i will i want to do some type of comparision now, this is interesting. of course i will have to find a better test material.
