Is there 1/4 in. diameter field points available.
3 Rivers has them in glue-on. 9/32 seems to be the smallest you can get in standard sizes of screw-in, although I have seen 17/64 in some specialty points, which is just slightly larger than 1/4.
I you are lookimg for the RPS type, go as small as you can.
Then chuck the tip in a drill with the point end in only as far as you need to get a good grip. Then hold a file or stone at an angle to the back edge so as to round off the sharp shoulder. I find it only removes a few grains of weight and the angled or rounded profile makes it easy to remove from targets.

I just got 3 dozen from 3Rivers I'm fixin ta return as they aren't tapered at the back. The pic on the website showed they were but noct when they arrived.
I like your idea, Wheels. I've found that when I buy the cheaper points, they often are a few tenths of a grain on the heavy side anyway, so beveling the back might actually bring them closer to being spot on in some cases.
Check with Larry at Lost Nation. And they have reasonable shipping costs.
