You may get the lead exposed and some mushrooming; but your accuracy goes to hell because the bullets are unbalanced; they spin, but they kind of wobble around the central axis. It might not make a whole lot of difference at very short ranges, like say out to 50 yards; but get past that and point of impact is not going to be anywhere near point of aim.
There is also the legal issue. If the game warden catches you with FMJ ammo that's been altered, I think you're gonna have some 'splaining to do and could end up in jail. Most places don't allow hunting with FMJ bullets. By all means, buy hollowpoint bullets of the same weight from component suppliers if you can get them, pull the FMJ rounds out of the milsurp cases and replace them with HPs, JHPs or SPs if you want to. But I would think long and hard about either turning the projectiles 180 degrees and reinserting them, or using ground-on FMJ bullets for hunting in anything less than a SHTF situation.

if you cant hunt deer with a rifle what are you suppose d to hunt it with? I'm not a deer hunter so excuse me if this is a novice question, but a rifle just seems like the best tool for the job.

And I wouldn't try to drill a hole in the end of a bullet unless I had a small lathe to do it with, I'd want it dead center. I'm not a hunter anyway, but I've got plenty of the correct ammo to do it with, in several calibers. All I shoot with them is gallon jugs full of water.

The rural counties have a rifle season; the less rural ones don't. In my county, there are bow, blackpowder and shotgun seasons, but rifles are not allowed. The powers-that-be are worried about bullets missing the target, or riccocheting and ending up hitting someone a couple of miles away.
It may not be rational, but it is the law.

Didn't the soldiers in WW1 used to invert bullets for trench warfare? I think I read about it long time ago.
