Well I took my lee 358-158-RF boolits that I cast, the drop at 162gr, loaded them up in my 357 lever gun with Bluedot and shot one into some water jugs.

Velocity is 1200 fps or so...

Distance was 25 yards.

Set up 7 1gallon milk jugs with water in them. Recovered the bullet in the 7th jug, and it almost made it out the back of it, as there was a dented hole in it.

Here is a pic of the bullet next to an as cast one.

Should work.

Yeah, would be nice to know what alloy. Air cooled/heat treated? Other than that, looks eskellent! Try hollow pointing some, and do it again?
