[QUOTE="Aussie Hunter Steve, post: 3061132, member: 53311"] When I was young and money was tight I used to turn my dad’s surplus supply of WWII pointed military 303’s into hollow points- I’d score a groove with a file at the desired length, then snip the tips off with side cutters. Next step was to square the bullet noses (now with lead exposed) using the side of the wheel on the bench grinder. Final step was to hollow out the tip with a rose countersink, which also thinned the jacket. The softer lead core naturally centred the tool, and they worked pretty good for a teenager. [/QUOTE]
