The Hydroshock is a good bullet design, but modern bullet designs are much better. Throughout most ballistic testing, including federal and state law enforcement agencies, 2 bullet designs consistently rank at the top.
Speer Gold Dot
Wincester Ranger T
Both are excellent. The Gold Dots are easily aquired for reloading. I use the Gold Dots b/c they are available locally. I do my own ammo testing periodically, and the Gold Dots are solid performers.
Probably the most "accurate" hollow point design is the Hornady XTP. You might try a few of these and see what you think. The XTP tends to penetrate a little more and expand a little less than the previously mentioned bullets, but they are still excellent bullets.
