This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by drilling into FMJ bullets. The experiment, conducted at Clay Lake, compares the impact of a standard FMJ against a modified hollow point in a clay target. The results show a significantly larger impact crater from the drilled hollow point, suggesting increased expansion. The speaker, wearing Leupold sunglasses, indicates a potential for accuracy testing next.

Quick Summary

A DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles involves drilling a cavity into a standard FMJ bullet. In a test comparing this modified bullet to an FMJ in a clay target, the drilled hollow point created an impact crater roughly double the size, suggesting increased expansion potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you make hollow point bullets at home?

A DIY method involves taking a Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) projectile and drilling a cavity into the tip to create a hollow point. This modification aims to increase expansion upon impact, as demonstrated in the video's clay target test.

What is the difference between FMJ and hollow point bullets?

FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets have a lead core fully encased in metal, designed for penetration. Hollow point bullets have a cavity in the tip, designed to expand upon impact, creating a larger wound channel and transferring more energy.

What were the results of the DIY hollow point test?

In a test using a clay target, the DIY drilled hollow point projectile created an impact crater approximately double the size of the standard FMJ projectile, indicating significantly greater expansion.

What tools are needed for DIY bullet modification?

The video shows a Ryobi ONE+ HP drill being used to create the hollow cavity in the FMJ projectile. Specific drill bits or bullet modification tools would also be necessary.
