Re: Filing an 'X' on a bullet.. My father's tale. Reason?

I just talked to my dad about this subject. Not only did he confirm this, he HAS HIS DADS original Jig to accomplish this. From what he said, these rounds were called "silver tips" (tips were not silver, but alloys). The jig and drill dad has are stamped from Sears and Roebuck (sp?) so they were catalog order kits.

My dad remembers all of the hunters in Mississippi deer hunting with "silver tips" for better stopping power.

Next time I am at dads house, I will either get the Jigs, or pictures.
