I was reading about the Hanned ConvertABall die, that allows you to modify ball ammo for the 7.62 X 39.

The result, according to the maker, is a round that is now suitable for deer hunting. The improvment comes from cutting off the gilding metal tip, exposing the lead core, and creating a meplate that does the job.
This conversion to a hunting bullet from a ball round sounds like a great idea, since you cannot reload the mil surp stuff. The results are said to be much better on game than the Russian 'hollow point' rounds.
Have any of you guys tried this? I am wondering about accuracy, and effectivness.
