[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2810654, member: 109862"] I drilled out .22 hollow points to be, well, more hollow and then filled that cavity with firmly packed fine metal particles and metal shavings (brass and steel mostly) from the school machine shop and sealed over the tip with glue or a drop of candle wax. Fancied myself quite the ballistic scientist conducting “experiments” like that. They actually did seem to blow up way more and kill small critters notably more emphatically. At that time the mostly gimmick that was “extreme shock” ammunition was running ads in hunting magazines and I was intrigued by the idea but on a real budget haha (high school kid). [/QUOTE]
