To put a fine point on it, many armies use hollow-point bullets in limited applications. Specifically, the match grade ammunition used by snipers is usually a hollow-point boat-tail. In this instance, the hollow-point is not designed for expansion, but rather for accuracy. For example, see the bullets used in the Federal Gold Match .308.
