[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2981157, member: 9117"] Chazroh's post reminded me of something I tried once... Coincidentally, spent .40 S&W cases measure around .429-.430 down around the base before resizing. I had heard of somebody doing this, so thought I'd give it a try. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_thCNh4k.jpg[/IMG] Poured a fired, unsized case full of lead and faced it off back down to the rim mouth. Ran a 1/4" Square end mill, .20" deep from touch-off to make a cavity. Ran it into a simple 60 degree die I made to give me some kind of point and close up the HP a little bit. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_jMN8xP1.jpg[/IMG] Finished bullet looked like these. The bullet weight was 268-270 grains. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_dazrWqO.jpg[/IMG] Loaded them over a modest load of BlueDot, don't remember the velocity. It was out of a rifle, but probably no more than 1000 fps or so. Shot them into a clay bank at 50 yards just to see how they'd do. They mushroomed a little bit, the jacket held together surprisingly well. I imagine they're put the hurt on anything that I'd come across in the woods. Was fun thinking about all the confusion something like this would cause at a CSI crime scene.. :blush: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_DnQIeFI.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_ienLD6U.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i.imgur.com_eTFuknZ.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
