G'day Dudes and ladies,
I remember reading a novel many years back about Elliot Ness and in one chapter, how a potential assassin tried to off him with a .38 revolver loaded with LRNs that had Xs carved into the slug.
Do such home modified HPs really expand when shot into soft mediums? If the sale of hollow point ammo is banned in one's locality, is it possible to modify flat nosed lead rounds into passable HPs?
For example, could one take the undermentioned round,

cut an X-grove on the flat lead point and depend on it as an SD round? Would it give better terminal performance than your regular 158gr 755ft/s LRN load?
