It maybe worked sometimes but not enough to be worth the hassle

And fark me, that thing was a noisy, uncomfortable, disruptive, smelly, smokey, pumice blasting pig of a thing at the very best of times. Usually the BOSS system was worse in reality. What a prick of an idea...

As far as FMJ, the target boys worked out that trimming the point of the FMJ rounds they used for fullbore back a very small amount to make them slightly wider and slightly hollow pointed improved them no end. I'm not sure why this would be, and the other point was that it was rumoured that the pill could shed the jacket inside the barrel which could lead to bulging.
