There was a study on hollow point bullets in one of the books I have read, it claimed that the biggest problem and the reason that two identical bullets could react different to the same circumstances was that the hollow point would sometimes cut a hide plug that filled the hollow point, and that the hide plug would keep it from acting like a hollow point. I believe that part of the job of the plastic insert is to keep this from happening. Lee
you could be right.
i like the 295 pb hollow pointwith my HAWKINS .50 CAL FLINTLOCK.
it does shoot very good,loads great,i can LOAD DOWN not upand my shots are never over 75 yds usually.
it works real good on a buck but i only shoot behind shoulder or buck walks.
