I have been busy this last week reading info from various sources insofar as best hollowpoint performance in typically slower cartridges such as the .38 special. In the vast majority of the articles I have read for the bullets to mushroom nicely the alloy ends up needing to be slighty softer than what would be recommended to shoot with a similar non hollow point bullet. My question is this . If gas checks reduce gas cutting on bullets to be driven harder for near magnum or magnum velocities would not making a gas checked hollow point mold allow me to use a slightly softer alloy and accomplish the same thing ? Has anyone done this and can speak from expierience ? I have a K14 that I would love to hunt small game with such as Snow Shoe rabbit, Rock Chucks, and try to out fox a desert dog close enough to getter done.
