[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1225875, member: 2736"] The material in side the hollow point is polishing media that was left in from the polishing/tumbling process at the bullet mill. (Much like the tumbling media that gets into the primer flash hole and has to be removed). I have seen this in many hollow point match bullets where the tip opening is very small. When I used to use SMKs a lot I used a Meplat trimmer to open all of the tips up just a small amount and this media would come out with the tip opened up a little, plus they were more consistent on game. Using a Meplat trimmer does uniform all the bullets, and it appears to make them more accurate. using a drill will only make them less uniform. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
