FF- I am not too sure to be honest. I was on the back of the truck hanging on for dear life! I suspect the skull. The bullets were ( if I recall) Kynoch lead hollow points, which were not ideal.( as an aside, you used to be given ammo by the local council so you could shoot rabbits and we always got this sort of ammo- seems bizarre now) I told the old man we should have taken out the L1A1 or his .45 LC winchester trapper as well. ( Now that gun was a pig killer)

If you really want to use shot, drop wax into the cartridge which holds the shot together longer. Fouls the barrel something awful mind you.
