Hollow point

[Dave Roelle]

I chucked some of my swaged bullets up in my lathe to see if the collet would damage the bullet. It works fine.
I wanted to swage some lubed bullets.

Rdnck's exactly correct on the damage side, this pic gives you an example of what you can expect----It did reduce the "run after shot range" from 50 to 100 yards to under 50 yards.



This is the "offside" the "onside" was the normal 45/50 caliber hole

I made the fixture to play with at the house---its doesn't even mar the bullet surface----collets were a bit inconsistent for me specially with soft lead.

Sam: just for grins i rolled the bullets on blades to see if i could find any imbalance---when truely centered the bullets shot well out past 200 yards ----it is a bit tricky to get the fixture lined up, when it is its very repeatable with simple stops

Keep safe
