The Russian 7.62x54R fmj ammo is a bargain, if you have a MN. I'd like to find a way to grind off the tip to make a 'soft point' for silhouette practice. Shooting the rams with fmjs isn't allowed where I shoot. I tried a hand file, too inconsistent and wild accuracy. Messing with loaded ammo is dicey, I know, but somebody has thought of this before me, I'm sure. The few I did file for a test were hard as heck. I've seen tools from Sportsmans Guide for hollow pointing some fmj pistol ammo.
