Hollow Point vs OTM bullets

[archanfire]

Hello all. I seek an answer to a question that has bothered me long enough. Do Open Tip Match(OTM) rounds perform the same as hollow point rounds (on impact)? Visually they look the same to me, but I've found conflicting answers online and I don't currently have a way to test myself. I have some of each, but would like to know if I can treat them as equals or keep separated for different roles.

As always, I prefer first hand knowledge as I've already found plenty of conflicting arguments online.

Thanks

I've never hunted with them, but if you put an OTM and Hunter model bullet side by side, I probably could not tell the difference.
