Check out the nifty thing that happens if the mold is closed while still upside down and the flat pins don't get a chance to seat flush, it makes these really wicked noses that isn't quite a meplat but isn't quite a hollow point. (right side of pic)

(It might already have a name and I didn't know that either

If I were to shim the bar, it'd be the other side of the pin so they'd do it even when not upside down.

Check out the slugs! This makes an awesome effect out of a 2L bottle of water. The nose explodes and stays in (what is left of) the first jug as a nickel sized piece of aluminum foil (rough size comparison) and the body will go through 2 more jugs. 'Great fun for targets - especially those which look interesting while expanding violently.
