<-- See the avatar I agree 100%. Consistently makes the ugliest hole I have ever seen. I shoot the very last thing I would want to be hit with in .45. You may have seen these pics but if not very similar results as what you got
Ballistics Testing Index
Federal HST 9mm vs 45 acp
Denim testing 9mm, .45ACP, 357
another set of pretty impressive testing
Terminal .45 no HST
Terminal .45 with HST
I have other links if you like. But I am sure seeing from your own tests is a lot more fun. I am looking at doing some of my own for that reason. What is impressive on the last page the HST looks identical going thru denim as not
