I prefer the 240 GR. XTP Hornady bullets with the sabots myself. Round balls might work just fine but I knew some guys that were making their own round laed balls and they were having a hard time killing deer. I suppose they may have not been making the right stuff. I heard them say they lost several deer using those round lead balls. They went to using factory hollow point bullets and sabots and started killing more deer on the spot. I have killed four deer with the 240 GR. XTP bullets and those deer fell dead in their tracks.
I don't doubt that the right round balls would kill deer too. Just like rifles each man has his own opinion on what bullets is the best. That is what is so great about this great country, you have several choices of what to use.
Good luck and I look forward to black powder season.
