I only find one problem with your thoughts...
a hollow point that explodes inside a deer means a dead deer if in the vitals
I can not imagine shooting a big game animal with a bullet any bullet that explodes in the animal. I shoot and have shot a lot of deer with HP bullets - they do not and they had better not "blow-up" I use Noslers or Speer Gold Dots (bonded) to insure that there is no "blow-up" and I am positive the Barnes shooters will tell you the same thing. The purpose of the HP is to start expansion sooner over a wider range of velocities.
On the other hand varmint bullets are somewhat designed to blow-up at the velocities they are being shot. Hornady's "V Max" even though it not a hollow point is designed to "blow-up"
