If you're talking about the old Forster style Winchester 1 oz HP, it works very well indeed. Entry and exit wounds are huge, blood trails short and could be tracked from the Space Station.

I've taken a handful of deer with them since 90 or so. One of my slug shooters likes this best, after the KO Brenneke, the other doesn't.

Both expansion and penetration have been good on deer running up to 200 lbs live weight. Some entrance wounds in the shoulder have been three fingers wide, and I've big fingers.

It's also my old duty slug.

I discourage ammo mods done at home. Besides the safety aspect,it may prove to be a prob in court.
