I'll defer to the hand loaders on this one as 5Pins could very likely be correct. 
I just knew the Fiocchi jhp I got weren't  XTP.

5pins

Looking over the Fiocchi line at Midway it appears that they have two different lines of Hollow points. The XTP ones are labeled as XTP and the other as "Shooting Dynamics".

Yes, I would tend to agree that they are using the ZERO brand JHP's...Winchester's JHP's were also similar but haven't see any in a long time!

Well here is one of Andrew's ballistic gel tests of PBR's 180gr Zero JHP from 5 years ago.  PBR had theirs humping along about 50fps faster but this test should provide a decent idea how this round would work in a SD application (he did include several layers of denim).  Maybe at a slower velocity the jacket wouldn't be shed.

Definitely not as good as XTP but based on single test, looks like it would get the job done.
