There are a pile of these bullet around here. When ammo for the 45acp pistol got scarce, i accrued plenty of components so we could keep shooting. Well..one thing led to another, and i started wondering about using these bullet in my muzzle loaders, and whether they could be used for an inexpensive hunting bullet. They are a hard cast bullet intended for practice.











The past few weeks, i wondered if one could modify these bullet to be a hollow point. After acquiring the tooling necessary, i proceeded. This morning seemed to be a good day to try these 'hollow points'. First, the capture of the original unmodified bullet. Distance from rifle to jugs was 35 yard.











The hard cast bullet penetrated through 4 water filled milk jugs, and buried deep into a stack of phone books. Using the same 'trap' the 'hollow point' bullet was tried.









It went through 3 milk jugs, and dented the fourth; it was found on the ground lying between the third and fourth jug.













Then the hollow point bullet was given 6 chance at 100 yard. Load was 90g Blackhorn powder, modified 45acp practice bullet, mmp short black sabot, Federal 215 primer.
