- I think this can be answered with an emphatic 'NO!'.
-
- While I suppose you could carefully put the bullets in a vise and drill
- out a hole, thus making them bullets with a hollow point, that does
- not mean they will expand in tissue or otherwise act as hollowpoints.
- Real hollowpoints contain a lot of high tech design, they are not just bullets
- with a hole in them. In addition, you can be sure that the lead cores of
-
- real HP's are softer than your bullets, meaning yours really won't deform as
- they should.
- In addition, should you have to shoot someone in self-defense and
- you live in an area where the DA is a liberal scum he may try to paint a
- portrait of you in front of the jurry as a blood-thirsty killer, quietly
- sitting alone at night making his 'super killer bullets' rather
- than just relying on factory ammo.
- Don't do it.
