Not a good idea, you'll get screwed for this in Jersey! Possession, use or manufacture of Hollow Points is a no no! By altering the round you are manufacturing a Hollow Point.

Again this idea doesn't wash. The lands and grooves only cut one way, thus the direction of the round can be determined. They are also going to confiscate your weapon if you are involved in a shooting. They will fire your weapon for a comparison round. Worn barrel or not they will look a lot a like under a microscope.

I have enough of background to tell you, do not use hand loads in a carry weapon for self defense. A good lawyer will rip you apart when you have to explain "Hand Loads"! Altered rounds carried for the purpose of killing...
