That seems like a bit of work. I would be worried about consistency. If you are off center your bullet may start to wobble or tumble.
Why not just use Nosler Partitions and save all the grief?
Now your talking'. Remember his name "Mr. Powerbelt", that should explain it. Chap Gleason

It is an interesting result none the less. I would half exected the screw to be punched right through rather than creating a mount.

So do you think with the steel tip, you could push them a little faster, & they would hold up a little better on bone? Is that your goal?

Goal was. well just to see what it would do. Thats it lol.

If i can find some more screws in this size, i will make some more and test them at higher charges.

i used the screw due to the fact that when the lead starts to mushroom, it will have something to grip and hold on to rather than a smooth shaft to slide right down.

That result is really neat gander, and not what I would have expected. So, the screw stopped expansion at the center of the bullet. I'm not familiar with the size of the hole in the PB - how would a regular steel BB fit in it? Could you just tap a BB in there and would it hold with a friction Fit.

BB will not fit.

I'll find some more screws im the AM. Right now i have to work on a new powerbelt forum. The other one isnt reliable and keeps screwing up [:@]

No BB, OK. Got a hardware store near by? How about some of those little short set screws with a socket for a hex wrench? Maybe you could find a size that you could just screw into the tip.
