Shot into soaked newsprint.

Cast from 9 pounds lead and 1 pound wheel weights with 1/8 pound of tin solder sized .359 and lubed with 45/45/10

Shot from Marlin 1894c
13.5 gr. H110

To make this boolit fit the case and still cycle in my 1894, I trim by brass to 1.200 and crimp in the top crimp groove.

This load will shoot into a consistent 2" at 75 yards.

Nice!

I have had success with that bullet in my .357 Max (14" TC) as well.

Nice!
Add a gas check and the recovered bullet weights darn near the same as the unfired one :-)

Nice expansion and weight retention! I like that bullet, it shoots good in my RBH.

Super! Exactly how it's supposed to perform! I'll bet you were walking on air when you recovered the boolit.

Now that I have the 1894 lined up, my next project is to get a load worked up for my NEF 357 Max as well. I think I will see good results with it there as well, however I plan on using a 50/50 alloy blend for that one.

It had one when it left the barrel. I suspect you are correct!
