Here's a few .308's

OOops, 2nd bullet from left is a 150 gr, not 125.
And a 210 gr. .338 NP alongside same bullet fired in .338 WM and recovered from a Nilgai cow.

Tried holding in wooden block drilled to fit bullet and sanding w/8" body sander but got hot enough to melt both plastic tip and lead core. Clamped in vise, worked great w/lead core but started to melt the plastic tip, so removed and replaced tip after grinding. Finished w/file. If I planned to do a bunch, I'd try making an aluminum heat sink to hold bullets to carry off heat, or perhaps a less aggressive sander.
