This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by drilling FMJ bullets. A professional reloader prepared the ammunition. The test involved firing both standard FMJ and the modified hollow points into a Clay Lake target to compare their impact performance. The DIY hollow points created a significantly larger wound channel, suggesting increased terminal ballistics.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by modifying FMJ bullets using a Ryobi drill. The creator, identified as an experienced individual with expertise in ammunition types and reloading, tests the terminal ballistics of these homemade hollow points against standard FMJs in a clay lake. The results show a significantly larger cavity created by the DIY hollow points, leading to a discussion about potential accuracy testing for these modified rounds.

This video debunks the common myth that carving an 'X' into cast bullets enhances their expansion. The speaker, identified as a hobbyist, explains that such modifications are ineffective for terminal ballistics and could potentially weaken the bullet. The practice is humorously linked to fictional vampire hunting rather than practical firearm applications.

This experiment tests the effectiveness of filling hollow point bullet cavities with Flex Seal liquid rubber to improve expansion through barriers. Results show that the Flex Seal modification surprisingly aids consistent expansion through soft barriers like heavy clothing, with the rubber dispersing into fragments. While successful in many tests, hard barriers like plywood still posed challenges for expansion.
