Default i ordered some 165 gr bullets......

......from XTREME. The are plated RN. First I'm going to do load/velocity testing.

I all is well, then I'm going to modify the bullets this way.

Flatten the nose into a meplat

Drill a hole in the center

Cut the meplat into sections with a razor knife.

Score the sides of the ogive in a similar way to JHPs to try to get some controlled expansion.

Shoot them into gelatin. I'm not as interested in denim/clothing at this stage as much as penetration/expansion.

I'll leave some unmodified and maybe add the HP, meplat cuts, ogive cuts as I get some idea of performance. This is going to be a long term project.
