Default RE: hollow pointing an cast bullet

A 405 grain bullet really has little need to be hollow point. The shear weight and energy of the bullet will cause the lead to flatten and expand and do all the necessary damage you would need. Besides, making a hollow point could cause it to fly badly and even so some strange wound channels I suspect. If all else fails, get a drill press and make a jig and just put a small hole in the tip of a few.
