micky_blue said:The hollow point is pentagonal. I have yet to shoot anything with it other than paper. I did dig a slug out of the dirt once, at maybe 35 yards. The top section of the bullet sheered off and the rear solid slug was intact. There was minimal deformation. These are cast from pure wheel weights. I was not surprised by the aftermath. Some day I would love to take a deer with these and recover a slug, but I have the feeling that the slug will drive completely through the animal and imbed itself in the dirt.
If you are not familiar with Ron's bullet test, you need to search - I wish his testing was tagged for all to see at anytime..
Here is a pure lead vs WW test Ron did of a bullet I made. Pure lead stayed together and WW broke off as you describe above.

Sorry, but it looks as if my photos posted have been lost with the recent site update.
