:wave: Hello, folks.
I recently managed to find a couple boxes of some Remington UMC 125 gr. .357 magnum JSP (which is also the only .357 magnum ammo I've even seen for sale in my neck of the woods, Lebanon, Tennessee, for a month! D
, buuu~t it's not quite what I was looking for.
I didn't know if it would be a good or plausible idea to do so, but considering my lack of "proper" SD ammo (HP; Winter is coming up, and I could see someone's argument on JSP's on more layers of clothing, but even then I'm not too sure), I thought about getting a bit and taper, using my other hollow point ammo I have for alternative pistol calibers for a reference guide, and carefully drilling some shallow hollow points in my current JSP ammo, but an angel was telling me,
"Hey, you just might want to ask someone who knows what the &$#@ they're talking about before you blow your face off."
I normally wouldn't do something like this, but considering the circumstance (ammo shortage), it ended up sounding like a damn fine evnin' activity! :bier: /*******
Also, I've only reloaded rifle rounds in my life, thus I wouldn't know what I'm doing drilling down handgun bullets.
So, is this intrinsically unsafe; is putting a couple pounds of pressure on the head of the round grounds for fireworks/malfunction, etc?
Thanks!
