Say a Cimmeron SAA was all you had in your drawer and you wanted to make an effective stopping round out of the lead bullets that you shot out of it?
Would it be effective to take a knife or a drill and carve out a crater on the flat top of the head of the lead bullets that you load? Would that be an effective hollowpoint?

This is a Cimmeron Cowboy Colt .45 Long. I think it is made by uberti. I'm told that I should keep the pressure on the low end and not do smokeless cartridges
