Has anyone here tried remaking the deep cavity, clay plugged, Snider bullet made in Japan during the late 1800s? I am curious about its performance, and it it can deform like that of the hollow nose Snider bullet made by the British.

I'm surprised you didn't see this Japanese Snider post, also at BMF:

I did find that, but I hoping to see photos of fired bullets to see how they may have deformed after impact with a soft target.
