Name that projectile

[Brent1967]

Bought a lot of -06 in enblocs to break down for components and most are 168gr bthp but some are these cross shaped bthp. I havnt found anything online that looks like this. Surely someone here has seen or used these. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like these... but that doesn't help a lot since the listing doesn't mention the bullet brand, just that they are reloads. Sorry.

Looks like they've been altered with a #1 Phillips head screwdriver.

Yup...they look to be the same projectile. And don’t say sorry, you found more online about em’ than I did! Thanks

Is it beneficial at all to do that? An attempt to control expansion for hunting? If that’s the case, I’m probably going to make me a buncha sinkers out of these. Thanks guys

After closer inspection the area between the cross is beveled, doesn’t look indicative of a Phillips screwdriver. I think I’ll try a plain bthp witha screwdriver an see if I can replicate

They are older Sierra bullets. Very accurate. If you pull them and don't want them, let me know. They are open tip match bullets. "Sinkers"?!?!?!?!

Makes sense. Those 'stars' looked like they were part of the design...
