After modifying a seater plug with JB Weld to better fit a cast boolit I ran a drill bit down through the seater plug vent hole to vent the newly filled part of the seater. I wanted a clean hole where the bit broke through so I placed the seater over the boolit and proceeded to drill through the vent hole with a matching size bit in my drill press. Sure enough the hole was nice and clean where it went through the JB Weld. When I looked at the boolit, it had a perfectly centered hollow point. This has got to be one of the easiest methods of drilling centered hollow points that I have come across. All seater plugs aren't vented, but they can be had pretty cheap.

...you don't drill your boolits too deep, or you might end up with some of these:

Of course the "full length Hollow Point" does make then real easy to store on a wire.[smilie=1:

Looks like it would be an excellent instant sausage maker.
Serioiusly, though, a great idea.

You could always thread the HP from the base and screw in a SS Bolt. Instant AP round.

PMC did a line of .38SP ammo like that. Bullets were a tube and weighed about 85gr.

They're for those of us that forget to load the powder before we seat a boolet. I just cant find a powder funnel that small. Or corks that will stay in.:mrgreen:

There was some off the wall brand that made ring bullets like that. They were loaded in a sabot. I stumbled across them when trying to find a 45 cal cartridge that would be legal on chucks in NJ. It's a long story, but boy, did I aggravate a game warden when I showed up with that thing. I had some 30-30's loaded with 90-grain XTPs too. They just didn't know what to do with me.
