I'm gonna try to attach a picture. I bought a 450 at a yard sale and when I got around to cleanin it out, I found a 44 boolit inside. I'd really like to have more of this one, looks fun. Can any of you ID it? 6864968650 Did that work? Frank

Dang, I can't believe my redneck self did that. It weighs 178 grains and it looks like a nice plinker. Thanks, Frank

If you want to try some first

My experience is good for short range not medium or long range.
Does hit with authority though - shoot full water bottle or can - wow
Use softer alloy half lead and half WW for low velocities this bullet shoots better when cast soft.
No leading - I was using M&N lube.
