I want to use a softer lead than manufacturers offer and don't want to buy another mold to create hollow points. Does anyone here drill hollow points into finished bullets? I've been thinking of drilling holes in the center of 200 and 240 grain bullets for my .44 special. How does it work out?

There are some jigs for using case trimmers, I believe.
A 'center drill' for a lathe or mill can be used to leave a wide opening and deep (narrower) pocket. Whether that will work for you, is up to you, but it seems to me that it would be the most likely way to succeed if at low velocity and questionable bullet hardness.
Good luck and keep us posted.
