ShooterNZ,
I have read the same story about projectiles Separating in the bore over here. I also know the practice was widely adopted by every roo shooter in Oz post ww1 until rifles in commercial loading s become widely and economically available to reduce skin damage and downgrade. Have never seen or heard it happening from anyone first hand and my father and his 3 brothers would have used more than 10 000 rounds of tipped .303s a year shooting for skins to pay their properties off.
We used to use the emery paper grinders in the shearing shed to tip them, a ice cream bucket stock a time as a kid.
