Forster Hollow Pointer 1/16

The Forster Hollow Pointer 1/16 is a specialized reloading tool designed for shooters who handcraft ammunition with cast bullet projectiles. This precision hollow-point drilling tool allows reloaders to create consistent hollow cavities in cast bullet noses—a capability that factory-manufactured rounds cannot offer. The 1/16-inch diameter specification makes this version ideal for smaller caliber applications where precise cavity depth and uniformity directly impact ballistic consistency and terminal performance of custom-loaded ammunition.

Operation is straightforward for experienced reloaders: the tool integrates with Forster case-trimming equipment through the included stop collar, which governs exact hollow-cavity depth across a batch of cast bullets. This depth-control mechanism is critical because even small variations in hollow-point geometry affect velocity, accuracy, and expansion behavior downrange. The 1/16-inch diameter cavity works across pistol and rifle applications where cast bullets are the standard—including magnum pistol cartridges and older rifle calibers. Forster Products' manufacturing tolerances ensure the drilling geometry remains consistent across repeated use, essential for shooters who load ammunition in volume.

This tool is built exclusively for cast-bullet reloaders and is not compatible with jacketed or plated projectiles. Serious handloaders who cast their own bullets or source quality cast ammunition components will find the Forster Hollow Pointer 1/16 indispensable for maximizing load development consistency and achieving repeatable field results. For those committed to the reloading bench and seeking to customize their ammunition to exacting standards, this is a purpose-built solution that pays dividends in accuracy and uniformity.
