Supposedly the HP design stabilize better; the weight is moved to the rear. Some bullets are ideal for target practice whereas others are designed to cause as much devastation as possible. Both rounds are called "high velocity," but the hollow point has 36 grain loads, the round nose 40 grains. A jacketed hollow point that has material inserted into the hollow point to close it up is just as accurate as the regular hollow point, and more accurate that any other hollow point, lead, poly coated or plated. Or, to get 143 PF from a 230, velocity would have to be down to 622 FPS. As 57K mentioned, the HAP just eliminates the skives (sic).

Doubt if you will put enough rounds through it to make a difference in wear, which would be a lot! A forum community dedicated to Springfield Armory XD and XD-M series firearm owners and enthusiasts.
