[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 385386, member: 2011"] The path to success or frustration includes: Go to Lilja site and down load bullet design spread sheet. That's about all one needs for what you wish to do dimension wise. The bullet itself cannot be reshaped via lathe to shift from Tangent to Secant ogive. The jackets are too thin. If it were a solid bullet then things could be changed but I doubt it would be worth the effort. Another path would be to machine the bullet to take a bronze/brass or copper point. Been down that road. Very difficult....... The best way to make a bullet of the shape desired is to make them from the ground up. Finally by the time all of the above is attempted Berger will have their new offerings on the market and trump all of your efforts.........cheaper. Also a screw machine is the way to make points in quantity. There aren't many in the hands of people would would make a specific point design. [/QUOTE]
