    Yes definitely something simple would be best. It's not a game changer if it doesn't happen.

    If your just cutting the lead tip off a SP a very sharp stanley knife does a good job with care.
    But I agree a jig of some sort would be good or a DIY attachment on a case trimmer perhaps.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
