im not sure thats going to work out safer, I dont use the ones I have because Im concerned they will splash on contact with the skull rather than crack it
its probably all in my head but the soft cast (i have hollow points) dont give me confidence on cow sized foreheads
probably be fine but id take literally any jacketed bullet or fmj in preference
