Thread: DIY bullet tips for flat nosed cast bullets

Used to put Bic pen nibs in Berger VLD years ago

Hot melt glue would work in those cast slugs

Then spin them up and machine with a sanding block

Consider having a central shaft attached to the centre of the gas check

Cast the projectile with a hollow centre axis

Drill precisely and insert the gas check so the shaft passes through the projectile centre and becomes the meplat tip

Way more precise and you have a projectile that has a serious cavity for mushrooming
