Just crossed my mind today how to make a redneck ballistic tip the easy way for boolits. I'm about to be casting (and PCing) for 300 BLK and I thought, hey why not take a pointier mold like the Lee 155gr (the one for x39) and put a 22 BB down in the mold then cast over it. It would not only create a HP without the fancy molds, but I think it would possibly aid in expansion with lower velocity stuff like 300 BLK (and maybe 30-30 or the like). Would also think it would help with nose deformation from feeding in ARs that pointier boolits experience. Only downside I'm seeing in my head is it would shave a tad bit of BC off spire points.
Am I the first one to think of this or has this been tried before? Anyone want to beat me to testing this theory out, since I'm only just about to order all my casting stuff tonight (already got tons of WWs but non of the stuff to cast)?
