Removal of the Ballistic Tip

• Method 1: Use a sharp hunting knife backed by a piece of wood to clip the tip off just above the copper.
• Method 2: Use a pair of wire cutters to cleanly cut the BT very close to the copper.
• Filing: File the tip flat so the copper just begins to show.
• Drilling: Use a 1/16" bit and start to drill into the stem with light pressure.
