Some ranges around here do not allow FMJ bullets but are fine with HP.

Would filling off the tips be suitable? If so, how would I go about that? How much to file off, what is the best method, would the rifle feed reliably?

Seems like a strange rule to me. I wouldn't think you could file down FMJ very well. You'd have to get it perfectly flat or the bullet would get real unstable I'd think.

voruzon, Read my post on this in Red: http://www.perfectunion.com/forums/showthr...p?threadid=3483

Now I have a friend that did this on commercial ammo, which had the bullet bottom jacked. He made chisel shaped noses, blunt noses, drilled a hole in the tip to simulate a hollow point, he said they all grouped the same, no dif. course he was only shooting at 100 yds or so. Long range may have been a different story. He said you only need to flatten the tip a little to get the bullet to expand on impact.

Damn, I did not think of the core flying out... Have to check the bottoms first.
