Could you expand on how they act "differently" at lower velocity?

I've been curious about this for some time, actually, and asked this question about the 110gr V-Max on ar15.com but didn't get much useful info. I know that Hornady uses the 110gr V-Max in their .308 TAP line but reports have indicated that it only penetrates 10" (not the 12" minimum recommended by the FBI).

I wondered if slowing it down to Whisper velocities would decrease the violence in the fragmentation and actually make it penetrate a few more inches yet still yield a good wound channel. Do you have any experience testing this bullet in the Whisper?
