Hollow point bullets are designed to expand from the hydraulic pressure that is created as it goes through muscle or other tissues. That's why they are tested using ballistic gelatin or water jugs to simulate tissue. Going through walls, glass, car doors, etc should cause little to no expansion. However, if the hollow point cavity gets plugged up with something along the way like sheetrock, or heavy clothing, that can negatively affect expansion.
