.22 Hollowpointer Modifier?

[JNunez23]

Hello everyone,

Just surfing the interweb when I came across something that I had never seen before. Now I'm fairly new to shooting, as I only have about 2 years of experience.

Apparently, this thing makes a RN round into a hollowpoint

Has anyone seen or used this thing before? Thoughts? Does anyone here still use something like this?

That is made by a fellow named Drock. It has 5 or 6 different shaping rods depending on what you want to modify the bullet to. I have one that I use for making semi-wadcutters and a version of the Eley EPS bullet. It works well and I have had some success in modifying Federal AutoMatch ammo to a semi-wadcutter bullet which has increased the accuracy somewhat. I did not have as much success with modifying to an EPS bullet. Not much difference with that bullet.

One issue with this modifier/accurizer is that the large hollow point bullets in general will not cycle well in a semi-auto rifle or pistol. The edge of the hollow point tends to hang up going into the chamber. They tend to work ok in a bolt action rifle.

Very cool, thanks Izzy! You're the man!

There are several type of these tools. Paco's, DRock, and Waltz die. Go over to RimfireCentral.com and you will find reviews on all of them. Here is a review on the Paco tool.

I've got at least 3 different versions of these tools.
The most elaborate is Pacos.

I have another that uses a small drill bit.

I've used Paco Kelly's tool for years and yes, it does make a difference.
