Want to thank you guys for all the responses to this post. We are not going to try firing any of the hollow point round balls as we realize the we would be waisting time and lead in this endeavor. This bunch of old bp shooters have enjoyed all the responses. Thank you.

Ohhh.. com’on Chief!! I was anxiously waiting for the experiment results!! I was hoping you could prove some of us right or wrong, now we gonna spend the rest of our lives wondering. !!!

Every deer I ever shot that happened to have the ball trapped under the skin showed that the ball flattened out and barely stayed together. Drilling a hole in the ball might cause it to tumble since it is not of uniform density when fired. A soft lead ball isn't as soft as a wad of gum but they would perform similarly if fired.

I have always wondered.....how do you prevent a roundball from key holing?

I have yet to find a way to keep round ball from keyholing.

Another bp shooter and I posed this question to an unmentionable shooter. He pulled a politician move. He spoke for 15 minutes and never answered the original question.
