Had a few air soft pellets get stuck in my hollow points. Tests to follow.

I’m surprised they didn’t melt down the sides!

They were deeper in the hollow, guess they got pushed out a bit during baking.

Yea they are standard plastic air soft bbs

My brother uses polymer self defense rounds that look that. If i am not mistaken the tipped hunting rounds work on the same princpe also. Just with a sharp tip. The idea is is wedges into the lead helping expansion.

Better watch it, you just copied the "Power Ball" load, Cor-Bon maybe ?
I have a MiHec 45 acp mould with a ginormous HP (pretty much a copy of the Speer "flying ash tray"), this happens a lot.
Doesn't hurt a thing, actually aided feeding in a friends picky 1911.
I mostly pick them out. Don't want to buy more. lol

How/what did the OP use to seat them in the case?

Plastic pellets ought to be ok. Not sure if the ATF would consider steel pellets armor piercing.

That right there is why I quit using BB's during PC. It was a great big pain. It seems to work just as well without em for me. Those bullets do look pretty cool though.
