Ahh, you're onto it spanners, I just filed the tip off one to see and its real thick! Maybe 1mm and hard as fuck! The hollow point is only in the jacket material too, so nothing in the lead.

So this inspired V1.2

Braking news: Version 1.2 is now out!!!!

I filed the tip off, turns out the jacket material is very thick. Then I drilled a very long hole, and did my ''flutes'' as well, followed by using a primer flash-hole deburring tool to put a nice bevel on the inside of the hollow point.


Puling the bullet


Drilling the massive hollow point hole (20mm deep)


Cutting the flutes


Deburring tool used to open up the front of hollow point


V1.2 V1.1 and standard 240grSMK for comparison.


Now I just need some more time to fully test it again - fingers crossed?
