Making Hallow Points
I was told and have been reminded of this tool I would like to look in to getting. It is something you insert your casting die to make a hallow point. Dose anyone know of this and where I can find one?
I know if your on this part of the site no one need to tell you how the feeling is when you cast your own bullets, load your cartridge, shoot a hell of a group or take game. All with something you crafted your self.
People in the city thing we are crazy. But they do not have the same self satisfaction as we do.

Hollow point molds are usually made that way from the manufacturer. I recently sold some molds ( that were not hollow point) to a chap who was going to convert them to hollow point. I do not have his contact info but, maybe he'll see this post and join in.

I use the Universal Forster HP tool made for their case trimmers. I don't know if it works on other trimmers. It comes in 1/8" or 1/16" sizes. I've used the 1/8" for years in everything I want to HP from .30+. Midway has them; #371-968 for $14.99.
