New .30 bullet idea

What if we took a 240 or 250 gr hollow point, like the SMK, and cut groves into it like the lapua subsonic? What might it do to the BC? I know it would reduce friction, but would there be any other benefits?

I was thinking of a copper solid base with very soft lead front. Similar to a Swift A-Frame with a SMK exterior with thin jacket tip and the Lapua Subsonic groves (I think that's called swagging--could be wrong).

There is also the other side of the stability v/s weight v/s length equation and that would be changing the bullet materials to something heavier than lead/copper; perhaps tungsten, got any depleated uranium?

Is there anyone that could make something like that?
