RD…..I too have wondered about the long range effect of the somewhat less than smooth tips on the Cor-lock bullets.

Has anyone ever tried smoothing out [sharpen?] the tips of a Cor-lock bullet? What effect did this have on the bullet accuracy? Did the bullet perform the same when shooting a Deer?

unless you were to use a micrometer to measure the surface of the bullet each and every time you touched it w/ a file or sand paper you risk
getting a bullet that is out of balance and this could cause you to have ammo that you can not even put on paper much less count on when hunting.
same thing can happen if you start fooling around w/ the hollow in a hollow point bullet.
