What do you call a bullet that expands?

A bullet that expands upon impact is commonly referred to as a "hollow point" bullet. The cavity at the tip allows it to expand and create a larger wound channel, which can enhance stopping power and minimize the risk of over-penetration. This design is often used in self-defense and law enforcement ammunition.
