If you want more oddball loadings, look up dum-dum cartridges. Essentially you take a ball loading, pull the bullet, flip it backwards, and reseat it into the case neck. Before partitions and core-lokt's, they were fairly common.

That is not what a dum-dum round is. A DumDum round was essentially a soft point bullet developed in the late 1800s by the Brits in the DumDum arsenal in India for a way to improve expansion and thus, stopping power. Some uquate the term with hollow points and some with backwards loaded bullets, neither of which are accurate.

As to the practice of reseating a rifle bullet backwards, I would wonder what pressures would do and I don't have to wonder about accuracy. I would think that key holes and tumbling bullets would be the result. The only stuff like this that I ever loaded when we used to carry off duty 5 shot Model 36 Smiths was a Speer hollow base wad cutter loaded backwards over Bullseye. They worked pretty good, but I would hesitate to screw around with 50,000 PSI stuff in a rifle.

truth.

I was moreso saying to google "dum-dum" because of how common it's been used recently to describe backwards bullets and bullets with other alterations. In speciffic, googling "dum-dum bullet" brings you straight to here...

thanks for elaborating on the topic though and providing more information.
