It is, of course, unreasonable to use this line of reasoning in court - that by seeking to use effective ammunition designed for self defense, you had some kind of special violent intent, but nevertheless, this is what happens.
OFTEN.
The prosecutor tries to convince the jury that the shooter is a psychopath who was just waiting for a chance to prove that he's Wyatt Earp. WHATEVER your choice in ammunition, it will be used against you, but the DA will provide a lurid description of the damage done by advanced ammo. If you give ANY reason for selecting it other than the increased stopping efectiveness -- and increased safety to bystanders -- you will be torn to shreds by the DA's questions and descriptions.
The question is not whether or not it is reasonable for a prosecutor to use this angle, but whether they will. (Frankly if I wanted to sway the jury this way, I could probably do it better by emphasizing the terms "FULL METAL JACKET" because of the movie and because it sounds scary. I wouldn't think hollowpoints would register as much with a jury - hollow sounds "weak."
That's why the DA will use the trade name: "Talon," "HydraShok," etc. He will show enlarged, black-and-white photos of the recovered bullet, showing the scary-looking, razor-sharp edges and points. He will describe the features which make it "especially deadly and dangerous."
The only way to counter this is to FIRST put in the minds of the jury the concept that you considered carefully which ammunition to use, and your primary consideration was the need to stop the criminal immediately, thus reducing the risk to innocent third parties. After you tell them that, no matter what the DA says, your defense attorney can bury him with all the other stuff, such as "cops carry it" and so on.
YOUR JOB, as defendant, is to get the jury to look at you as someone who is sane, deliberate and has a conscience. You can't do that if you selected your pistol or ammo based on what cops carry.
Conversely, selection of a HOLSTER is the exact opposite. If you pick what the cops carry, you will appear to be relying on their expertise -- but carry gear is "benign" in the mind of the average person, just an article of clothing.
