[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 497354, member: 13833"] You need some kind of vice to hold the bullet consistently without deforming it. Drill just through the jacket and not into the lead. You will have to experiment to get the depth right. Once you do, drill to the same depth each time. Fill the void to the tip with silicone. The weight should not be much different than before drilling. If the bullet still doesn't expand to your liking, use a slightly larger bit size. The idea is to thin the jacket nose and the silicone will start the expansion of the tip as well as replace the weight and smooth things up a bit......Rich [/QUOTE]
