I think it'd be a great round to use, but it would be inviolation of the Hague covention's rules on expanding bullets:
as ratified in 1900

as mentioned in the 1980 review:

The ICRC has always approached the regulation of weapons under international humanitarian law from the viewpoint of the effects of weapons on human beings. Indeed, we see the protection of combatants from unnecessary suffering as one of the fundamental principles of this law. Presentations by Switzerland have highlighted the danger that the existing prohibition on expanding bullets (often called dum-dum bullets), contained in the fourth Hague Declaration of 1899 and the protections thereby afforded to combatants, could be undermined by other bullets which cause the same type of severe wounds by other means. As it is the energy deposit of bullets which causes injury, we support proposals, such as the Swiss draft protocol, to establish limits on the energy deposit of bullets within the human body. Adoption of such limits would strengthen one of the major protections provided combatants under customary international humanitarian law.

As I see this, they want to limit the amount of damage that a bullet can do to ensure that the wounded are only wounded. I say fark 'em. Let's load up on Glaser's and this new stuff and go to town!
