A #3 center drill was used to make the hollow. The work was done on the lathe, with the bullet held in a 7/16" collet. The collet held the bullet tight without marring it. It would be difficult for me to get the bullet centered on a drill press, but i know you could do it. What i mean is, you could do it; not me.

Yes, i did weigh the bullets. It was a pleasant shock to see how close to the same weight they were; be assured they weren't exact. It was surprising to me to learn, that if one drilled a hundred bullets, one would be able to find plenty for hunting, that would be the exact same weight or nearly.

There are hundreds, and hundreds of real hunting bullets here, which probably means i won't spend too much more time with these ones. However, it was fun to see they would expand. It seems they should do lots of tissue damage to a critter, and do that thing called 'hydrostatic shock'.

What?...........you don't think a 5" six shot group at 100 yard is good enough? Every single shot ever made using this home made hunting bullet, would have put a deer down right now, and into the freezer? No?
