What if you were to flip it over and fill the cavity with lead, making a solid slug out of it? :hmm:
Could you pour lead into the slug without the fear of melting through the existing lead?
What about filling the cavity with a lead roundball sized to fit the cavity?
The reason for the big hollow in the base is to keep that end forward while traveling through the air. When shot from a smooth bore that weight forward is required to keep the slug from acting like a knuckle ball. I'd guess the spin imparted by rifling would allow you to put something in the base, but that'd just increase the weight. :hmm:
