    I spent some time this afternoon trying to make a punch for a truncated cone nose shape. I can tell you now that this is only going to work on the absolute softest ammo, and even then it's pretty...

    I'm going to have to disagree on the depth of the hollow point. I spent a bit of time yesterday playing around with the really long narrow hollowpoint that I was getting inconsistent results with and...

    That's true, but in practical terms for the average rifle driver a 0.0022" variation in chamber size is likely going to be less variation than the ammo you can consistently source... Being able to...

    Reforming the profile and adding a hollow point will improve accuracey in some firearms but be detrimental in others. Borrowed from another site A Sporting .22 LR chamber is .8751 in length...
