i dont think that their is a big diffence in accuracy, if any, just wacked a squirrel 35 yards away a couple of days ago using this idea, (cause i got the idea off of you), he only dropped 5 feet, and never kicked, i cut mine all the way down to the very bottom of the hollow point

yea I noticed that if I cut all the way to the bottom of the hollow point.   the head of the bullet expanded and would be very tight in the barrel and one I couldn't get in the barrel.  For some guns this could be better or worse.  The deeper you cut the grooves the more expansion you will see.  I haven't had the time to hunt .  That is awesome, did it leave a large hole?

the entry wound was small like normal, and the exit wound looked like a 25 cal, the thing was huge, i also noticed that some of mine wouldnt fix in the breach eighter

The pellets are .177

I also had similar results.  The cut pellets wouldn't travel as far into the phone book as the Regular hollow points.

Now I am going to have to go hunting and test this out. lol

i think that you can hear them a lot better when they hit, you can clearly hear the hit, if your far enough away

I had purchased a tin back in 2004.  They used to come with a nice foam sponge in the bottom and top of the can. My S1K loved them. I recently bought two new tins which did not have the sponges any more. The new pellets are darker than the old ones. (coating) My new Whisper does not like these pellets. They fight really tight in the bore, and I can not shoot good groups. I turbo tuned my S1K, and gave it to my brother for christmas.  Darn it!

Funny, but I can't seem to get these pellets to shoot worth a darn in any of my three air rifles. My Beeman 1024 loves the Crosman Premier wadcutters, but hates the hollow points. My Remington Airmaster doesn't like either one, and both of these pellets just fall into the breach with the loosest fit of any pellets I've tried.
