Out of curiosity, how does this type of projectile react when it impacts bone?

A head shot into a hog with the .45acp CQB round will pretty
much take apart and fracture over 1/2 of the skull, upper impact side jaw bone and usually blow out both eye balls, which is unusual because even most rifle rounds do not create near the bone destruction and usually only pop one eyeball at best.
The .308 rounds will completely cut a hogs femur bone in half if even if the trajectory was far enough away that the bullet fragments did not touch the bone.
Rifle rounds which impact large bones directly just pulverize into large chunks like a jig saw puzzle that could not be put back together. Smaller bone structures like ribs are not recoverable when impacted with the 5.56 APLP rounds.
The resulting dimensions of lateral and linear fragmentation patterns from thoracic cavity penetrations shown on x-ray are not due to what some have theorized as snowstorm effect.
