Do cast hollow point bullets expand in gel when using wheel weight lead?

I use the Clear Ballistics synthetic gel. Got two 24 inch blocks and two molds. It is resuable. Not too expensive. Just add a crock pot and you good to go casting gel blocks.
Fun to use

If you want a hollow point boolit to stay together rather than flying into pieces it needs to be real soft.
If you want real soft boolits to not lead the barrel it is better to put copper shoes on them.
If you want a mushrooming boolit to push on through the "medium" it needs to have enough weight.
If you want a soft snaggy boolit to function reliably through a semi-auto it is best to feed the weapon an elongated round nosed boolit.

That's just all a bunch of stuff I worked my way through while wasting time with pistols instead of revolvers. But hey, these are modern times with fresh young ideas. So what I came up with was take a heavy reliably feeding gas checked round nose, have a monstrous hollow point pin installed and cast them soft.

That's not your every day chitty-chitty-bang-bang range boolit so cast them hard for practice and soft for killin'.
