I know this may be a little off the subject here but I thought it may help me in determining if I'm doing the right thing.
A few friends of mine that shoot and hunt with black powder rifles asked me to alter some bullets for them. 50mm, 360 gr, solid lead bullets that they have some problems with when they hunt. They wanted to reduce the weight to 300 gr and make them hollow point. They also asked for me to turn the back side from flat to concave. They thought the concave shape will let the bullet engage the rifling better and therefore spin faster and fly straighter.
I had no problem doing this, but I would like some of you experts to comment.
