I sold all my reloading about 2 years ago, got out of it altogether and moved. Wanna get back into it in a limited way. Trying to find business that sells six sided hollow point cast bullets. I used to buy them but can't remember the business name. Help!!!!

What are six sided bullets? You mean the hollow point hole is six sided? Kinda like the Mihec moulds produce?

Penta points are 5 flat hollow points.
Could that be what you want?

The way those pentas open up is a thing of beauty.

do these open in a star pattern, similar to a barnes X bullet or whatever they are called, and at what alloy/velocity do they do so?

Yes, they open up. The second part is going to be determined by a lot of factors. The main ones are which bullet and what gun. What you need is different in a snub nose revolver compared to a rifle.

You need to meet a certain fella I know from the You Tube... Loads of Bacon (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-MIt11Lihm02hMxIIY-b0w)
He is doing a series on HP's, covers the type of Pb all the way through gel testing...it's going to run for a while yet...all the details are there just like a recipe book.
