I had some 75gr amax that didn't shoot well (~2") in may 1:9 AR-15. So rather than throw them away, or keep them around untill one day I get a bolt in .223 I tried something a little different. I pulled the polymer tip and found I can load to magazine COL and not compress the load with 23.0gr of H4895. They make for wicked looking HP's now... Second photo is a take on something I saw on Military Channel, in WWI some of the British? troops pulled the spitzer bullets from the cartridges and re-inserted them backwards so when they struck the metal armour used in trenches they would create more of a spalling effect and injury the enemy from flack. What do you all think. I'm not looking for accuracy here just something to plink with.

"...not compress the load..." Compressed loads are nothing to worry about. 75 grain H4895 loads aren't compressed anyway. Pulling off the tip has turned them into damaged bullets. You might have feeding issues. Load 'em up with anything and use 'em for ground hogs.
