[QUOTE="slickyboyboo, post: 873311, member: 17360"] My trimmer came in, so I modified a few yesterday evening. I drilled the pinched tip out with a 1/16" bit, then trimmed the bullet's OAL down by .050" opening up the meplat similar to that of a SGK. Now I just have to test them, but won't be able to do that for another couple of weeks.

You can see this in the cross section comparison pic I found of the 2. SMK left, SGK right [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o270/Slickyboyboo/E34035F3-8465-434E-8908-8845C77D5356-8737-0000059E59AF2510_zpsddbb1122.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
