Was messing around waiting for the weekend to go shooting and decided to stick a safety pin into the hollow points of the loaded Lapua 155 scenars that are sitting on the kitchen table. Figured I'd clean out the small burrs left by the meplat trimmer. I spun the tips on 0000 steel wool previously which did a 98% job of clean-up.
Out of 40 bullets, only one allowed passage of the pin to about 5/8 inch deep with a clearly detectable internal cavity. All other 39 only allowed less than 1/8 inch passage of the pin, so I got concerned and pulled the one odd bullet, weighed it and it's the same as the others waiting to be loaded.
So how big is the cavity supposed to be? Anyone have a cross-section photo just to see what's inside? Though about sacrificing one just for curious sake.
