Yes, many rounds, especially bonded hps like your bear claw or federal fusion offer superior ballistics than 5.45.
Tumbling is not the best wounding mechanism. Your t2 will tumble and frag which does much more tissue damage.
Bonded rounds expand leading to increased surface area (wounding like a tumbling bullet), but it creates a consistent wound channel. It also tends to travel straighter, and offers better barrier penetration.
In short, bonded rounds let you have cake and eat it too.
