This link shows me setting up the drill press about to drill out the g/c shank of a mold :

Here are some Lee 200 gr. plain base bullets that are the product of the above process :

Many of the machinist here will tell you not to try this. Maybe they are 100% correct ? ? I've done it a few times
with success. That doesn't mean that I could do it many times. It is very risky. They are totally correct in the assumption that it is possible to destroy a mold with this technique. If you choose to try this, understand that 1 minor point of mis-alignment and you'll most likely ruin your mold. Buckshot and Erik are the best that I know of in this arena. They know what they are doing and are professionals.( I'm NOT ! ! )

Yes, they shoot pretty good in my opinion :

The real bottom line to all this is if you want a low % of success, try my method.....If you want a probability of 99.9 % +
success, contact Erik or Buckshot and have them do your work for you. You won't regret it.
