[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2630805, member: 106845"] Drilling requires being consistent and square. You have the potential to throw of the balance of the bullet. It’s not a big concern if you’re shooting closer range but I’d say if you’re concerned about softening them by annealing you’re probably needing a lower impact velocity capability. So my recommendation in this regard is to get a meplat trimmer and widen the meplats that way. It’ll give you a similar effect but ensure things stay concentric and balanced. Again though, I just switched to a bullet that doesn’t require this kind of work and have been much happier at my bench as a result lol. [/QUOTE]
