Back in the 70s in the US you could get a hand tool to hollowpoint .22LR, basically a tube you "chambered" the round in and from the front end inserted the perfectly fitting drill tool with knurled...

Yep - I think we are in agreement just the way to get there is the discussion. Once the projectile has started upsetting, it's away and going provided that there is still something in front of the...

I spent some time this afternoon trying to make a punch for a truncated cone nose shape. I can tell you now that this is only going to work on the absolute softest ammo, and even then it's pretty...

so what you have discovered re hollow points...is what some of us have been doing all along,all be it more crudely... my "poke a 3" nail in hollow point and twirl it around a few times" creates that...

That's true, but in practical terms for the average rifle driver a 0.0022" variation in chamber size is likely going to be less variation than the ammo you can consistently source... Being able to...

Reforming the profile and adding a hollow point will improve accuracey in some firearms but be detrimental in others. Borrowed from another site A Sporting .22 LR chamber is .8751 in length...

Hey Folks, I have been working on a 22lr resizing / hollow pointing tool. What I have made is basically a direct copy of the Neal Waltz die, with a couple of minor changes. His design is by far the...

I don't think it needs to be a very deep hollow point, just deep enough to start the upset... I wouldn't as an example be looking to drive the hollow point into the driving band section, just deep...
