I thought you has a boolit mould for casting some of these slugs. My mistake.
Those being hard cast commercial boolits, I agree with Larry and the others, no way I would hunt game with them.

If they were all I had, I'd file a 1/4" flat on the nose and hunt away.

I would not use for big game, there are so many better molds/designs out there like the Saeco 245 gr. fp, that you could cast and match your alloy to velocity.
These bullets are between 16and18 in hardness according to Western bullet company. I just purchased some 280 round nose and 200 gr rcbs boolits from them.

What would you be hunting? Typical shot distance ? Expected load velocity?

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
No... if I could cast them myself out of pure lead and push them at fast rifle velocities so i know they would expand... I'd probably try it once. I'm sure they are casted too hard and would be like shooting a field point through a deer
shoot yes, hunt no
Correct shot placement is what a hunter needs to cleanly harvest game. A gut shot buck is still gut shot with an expanding bullet or not. I like game meat and even jerky made from blood shot meat is no good.

I am going to chime in on the OP again
there are several issues with this bullet for hunting .
Hard cast , and pointed ...neither is going to give you any expansion and little shock value. probably pencil hole in and out.
For me personally.... that means most likely a suffering animal... not something I look forward to.
even a coyote or woodchuck digging around the farm I want dispatched quickly and cleanly

I would only shoot this at a game animal if I could guarantee it would enter the ear hole, otherwise no shot.

Exactly what I like, pencil hole in-pencil hole out and usually through both lungs and the heart, sometimes just the lungs but always a dead deer with in a few yards, NEVER lost one. I still load jacketed fmj for hunting in 22, 30 and 45 caliber, 22 for head shots only but the other two work fine for lung/heart, that Hornady FMC 220 grain at about 2400 fps out of 06 is a freight train.
