Dum Dum is an Arsenal in India, where a Captain Clay experimented with hollow nosed .303 bullets.

All the surplus stock was used on ranges for target practice, some spent bullets have been found on the old Hambledon Ranges at Hapton.

Ooops...sorry Retlaw. I was simply using the term in a generic sense to refer to an expanding bullet.
Oh, by the way, it was Captain Bertie-Clay who experimented with both soft point and hollow point nosed variations on the .303 cartridge. I suspect you are also referring to the Hague Convention, not the Haigh Convention (whatever that might be) but may I suggest you also reference the Declaration of St Petersburg which preceded the Hague by a third of a century and renounced the use of such weaponry.
