I have not had a problem with 156gr opening up but I think it is a good idea and I am buying a hand drill and some#65 bits to open the tips
The tip on the 156 is already opened up. Here they are with no tip mod, 144 left and 156 right. The #65 almost falls in the hollow point of the 156 without any resistance!

If you are shooting 156 gr you better check. About 1/3 of mine or nearly closed, maybe from rattling around in the box during shipment. Here I open one up for comparison

Did you buy the little hand chuck shown in one of my prior posts?
I always make sure the tips are good on all my Bergers. I don't drill them out though unless you're talking about the 144 or other Hybrid. I fix them with a Leather Smith tool. It's a oversized pin I can correct the tip with.

I got the little hand drill after reading this thread. $8 on amazon and works well.
144's are in stock at Bullet Central. Lot of 500. I just got notification
