I absolutely believe it does and I am in search of a BP bullet that will have the same effect. I have only shot two deer with a BP rifle, one was a pass through and the deer ran about 50 yards. The other one I lost and had little blood so I can only assume it wasn't a pass through. I definitely want a bullet that will stay together and carry its mass through the deer. A bullet like that can give you the edge on less than ideal hits.
After seeing your post on the Hornady bullets, which I am now using, I will be looking into something else for next season. I have yet to get a shot this season to see how they do, but still have a few weeks left.
