I've shot 40 to 50 Deer with patched round balls over my life time. But I refuse to use a bullet that I gotta put in the right spot for it to work. That's great that works for you, and it has very well. But highly suggest people don't do that and they use the best bullet to harvest there game if they don't make the perfect shot. And if you think that's a round ball use it. Way to many variables in hunting out of people's control.
