    Hello Bunkerguy. Don't let anyone talk you out of your idea. I'm here to help !! I don't know how they would shoot or if they would be legal and don't care.
    But I'm willing to give them a try. Send me a couple boxes, BIG boxes.

    I think bunkerguy may not be referring to "diamond" as in mineral/gemstone but to the pentagonal "diamond"-shaped hollow points such as those on the Mihec Group Buy molds ! ??

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That would make sense, and not catch near as much flak!

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    If the question is about pentagon shaped nose cavities, why the question of legality? OP???

    Looks like more than one question has been asked about "diamond tipped bullets".

    Boy, am I glad other members had seen that episode of Star Trek. I was beginning to think that it was a figment of my OLD imagination.

    I rather suspect that bunkerguy has a touch of adolescentitis, in which anything that is the mostest is automatically assumed to be the bestest. A side symptom is the belief that unlimited amounts of money just happen.

    They will shoot through two school buses AND a school.

    Definitely illegal.

    I got a funny notion that the OP is talking about moulds like the 360 156gr SP that produce a pencil point nose.

    If so; No, they are not illegal to cast or shoot.

    If it was a hollow point question, he should have told us we were a bunch of old Luddite fools, and explained it to us. Sometimes you just need to get our attention first!

    Not to hijack but regarding the Star Trek episode. I remember it as being the first time I heard the formula.

    for black powder.

    Always think of it when dealing with BP.
