Sir Jerry, I shall take the Delrin rod tips under advisement, buy a donkey for that. I emailed Hammer Bullets about aluminum or plastic tips, sent them the image of the 402-gr Shock Hammer too. Will see if anything shakes out. No word from GSC. Hammer could easily make something more like the GSC HV, but with the PDR bands, I will inquire about that too, a custom order.
The gaping hollow point on the 402-gr Shock Hammer is a nominal 0.25" in hole diameter. Spreading my calipers inside the hole I get 0.248".
I bet a 0.25" (6.35mm) steel ball bearing would make a nice fit into that hole and add about 0.125" to BOL, with a shiny silver hemisphere sticking out of that hole. That ball of steel weighs 15.76 grains. 402.7 grains + 15.76 grains = 418.46 grains.
The .458-418gr Ball Peen Hammer Bullet by Bubba Bullet Metamorphosis Technologies Ltd., very limited, is hereby released to the guntrade. Patented component supplied by Hammer Bullets.
