I did some drilling on the Lynman top punch to see if I can get it to stop distorting the point. I did all the brass prep, casting, lubing, gas checks, everything today.
Have You shot this Load Yet?

I have access to one I built and sold to a buddy but don't expect much from me on empirical testing. I actually had one unfired when I built those loads but sold it too since....unfired still.

Sorry - I did not see the posts about Moeller´s brass bullets until now.
He has a website: http://lutzmoeller.net/It is in German but you can get the gist through electronic trabslation. His bullets are expensive at EUR 150 pr. 100, as I recall.
Moeller is a physicist and a passionate hunter. He is not in this to get rich and does not advertise as far as I know. He continually works to improve his design - which is probably not good for stable business. His latest version is the Flitzer:

You can load his bullet data into your QuickLoad from here: http://lutzmoeller.net/Munition/QuickLOAD.php

That's right. But he also is a very controversial person, with very controversial ideas about the "best" bullet, and reloading in general.

His website mainly consists of emails he received and his answers. Very difficult to read.

What i-should be relevant here are Moeller´s hunting bullets and their performance.

Their main features are:
-brass
-drive bands
-light weight
-controlled break-up of cone section
-little to no deformation of remaining cylinder
-computer controlled manufacture

Moeller claims that this results in:
-high velocity
-high
-exceptional penetration
-outstanding terminal ballistics
-outstanding uniformity/accuracy

As far as I can see these claims are borne out by experience.

I bet my dad has shot a thousand game animals & feral hogs in his lifetime with Rem Core-Lokts & Hornady Interlocks. I still don't get it.

An excellent point: you cannot be any deader than dead even if it is by an arrow. Nevetheless...
