[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 1720916, member: 69989"] For those of you that drill out your Berger bullets to eliminate closed tip penciling, have you ever run into one with what would appear to be steel in the tip? I was loading 7mm 180gr HVLD bullets today for an upcoming elk hunt and was running a 0.040" micro drillbit into the tips to make them consistent and open, when one would not drill. I ran it over a magnet and it stuck. Lot number D997. I can only assume it is a stainless pin used for final polish, but it would definitely attribute to penciling or at the very least a possible flyer. I sent an email to berger to see if they have any information on this happening with this lot number. I was just wondering if anyone else has had something like this happen. SHM [/QUOTE]
