In the 50'sand 60's NZ. the deer cullers often used fmj in 303 and they would just use a pair of side cutters to nip the nose off for good results on deer. A meplat trimmer would do this neatly and uniformly on your 223 fmj's and would serve the same purpose as a hp without opening the tip enough to allow the jacket and core to seperate on firing.
