Thread: Sierra Matchking 308 125gr HP for huntinf

Yep I thought you’d be on the right track if you altered the tips. That bullet is going to open up lethally now.

Interesting that you can do it with just filing. I’m wondering what would be the best method for consistent projectile length without having to pfaff around too much. It’s too long ago for me to remember the nitty gritty but I do remember watching the old fella place the round in the jig, pass the file over the tip a couple of times and then lower the drill press, remove cartridge, repeat. It was a very quick, repeatable and accurate process because the drill stop controlled the amount of tip material removed, and he could do a lot of rounds in an hour. Of course the big difference here is this was with a loaded ammo, and not just the projectile on its own.
