[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 96943, member: 11"] I'm going to set the bullets up to use the mag one way or the other. Removing the tip will let me move the front edge of the bearing surface closer to the lands by the length of the tip I remove. So that isn't really a trade off. I'm not excited about losing 200 FPS at 600 yards and I am concerned about the consistancy of drilling a hollow point. This alone might cause me to simply remove the lead tip and leave the end of the bullet flat. I will have to think about that. As far as the dust concern goes, I will be either drilling the tips or facing them on a lathe type set up. If my kids are going to ingest or inhale the lead they will have to chew it first. In other words I wont have filings or dust. It will come off in chips. So we are good there. A quick sweep up and all is well. Thanks for all the input. It is certainly giving me lots to think about.
