[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1064403, member: 4191"] One correction to my post. While hollowpointing the 250 300gr 338 OTMs, I did encounter one bullet with a tip completely pinched shut with copper jacket material. Really sealed. I didn't notice the closed tip while trimming it back with the first step of meplat uniforming. Only when running the hollow-pointing end mill into the tip of the jacket did I notice the resistance. When the jacket tips are pinched together into a solid mass of copper jacket material, obvious resistance is felt with the hollow pointing tool. I got out a small drill bit to see how far in the jacket was pinched together and it was simply solid copper - way down in there. In my opinion, this bullet would have acted like a FMJ on game. It would not have expanded. This bullet will be used for barrel break-in and/or bore fouling. [/QUOTE]
