I think this would make a difference. After I watched this clip, I went off on a side trip among the related vids presented at the side and watched another in which a guy was shooting at balloons filled with water or "oobleck", as they called a mixture of cornstarch and water (which is a non-Newtonian fluid, the reactions of which were the main focus of the clip). He was using a .22, and hollow points and round nose bullets had different effects on balloons with both liquids, and I'll bet the same holds true for the .44 Mag.
