Just make sure your alloy is soft enough to expand,with commercial hard cast bullet there is no point even bothering they just want expand at all. 10:1 or 20:1 lead tin alloy will work fine for many non magnum velocity calibers.

I could only stand about a minute of that. Want a hollowpoint bullet? cast one.

Bingo. There are many talented mold makers out there that make just about any weight / size / bullet shape needed.

A cast HP is kind of pointless. Cast bullets flatten when they hit hard surfaces. Bones are hard enough.

327 Mag. cast HP

I have some that don't flatten out they might deform just the slightest but 1/8 steel angle doesn't do much.

Yes thanks, I saw that.


The idea of drilling into cast lead bullets came to me before I found the video. I am shooting some old pistols and was able to find bullets for it but not hollow points. Believe me, I won't do that to a 9mm.

Not interested in casting or swaging myself.
