I'll definitely give them a try, I'd be interested in a soft lead HP version of that as well. There seems to be a lot of interest in this forum in a 30 cal rifle bullet that will expand at these velocities. I'd guess if someone made a plated HP in the 150-165 gr range and another in the 200-220 gr range they'd have the market cornered and this should work fairly well for the full range of rifling twists. Maybe a couple phone calls wouldn't hurt.
In the mean time, I'm going to start brainstorming on constructing some kind of punch/swage to convert a few of those Berry's Plated 150's to a HP configuration with a bit of consistency... maybe something I can turn out on the lathe that will fit in a standard reloading press, how hard can it be?
