I'm thinking of trimming the hollow point off of the Hornady 385 grain Great Plains conical muzzle loading bullet. Reason: to reduce the expansion of the pure lead bullet and allow for deeper penetration for use elk hunting. I was thinking of chucking it into a drill and cutting off the hollow point to make a flat nose bullet. It shouldn't reduce the bullet weight too significantly. Has anyone done this, or similar? Any reason not to do it?
