Do you loose much meat with those HP's? I've almost always used ACWW alloy in my 45-70's for hunting. Lots of different molds though!

Very nice

Ain't they awesome!
Here's some with both shallow and deep HP's.

Nice looking! Would hate to see the damage one of those would do on a deer with a shoulder shot! Probably great on a lung/heart shot!

This will be my first time using a cast HP on deer but I have shot a lot with 300gr Hornady HP's. I didn't see a lot of meat damage as long as I didn't hit the shoulder.

What did the bullets with the deep HP weigh? Mine with the shallow HP weighed 334gr checked and lubed. They were a little heavier than I wanted. Yesterday I put some across the chronograph at 1834 fps with 52grs IMR 3031

When I get a 45-70, THAT'S the bullet mold I want! :mrgreen: Should do awesome on hogs and deer and dang near anything else.

These work well on Wallaby. Tend to put them down in a hurry. Here's the link http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?193884-Wallaby-with-Cast-Hollow-Points-!!!

Your first kill with the mighty 45-70 will make you a lover of this cal. Only then I realizer how they killed buffalo at 1000yards with black powder with this round. 1800fps is about were I shoot my ranch dog 350gr. You wont be disappointed!

Yeah, stay away from shoulders! :roll:
Used a similar boolit once, shot behind a shoulder but exited the off shoulder and destroyed it---that from my BFR revolver. The rifle will gut, skin and grind a deer!

I've recovered some cast with 50/50 ww/lead from a soft dirt berm. They might have weighed 50-60 grains. Shed everything to about 1/8" in front of the gas check. But these might have been the deep hollowpoint.

In the hammer, I think flat nose would do pretty darn well at marlin load levels. Still need to try the shallow hollowpoint for expansion.

Man!!! Those look AWSOME!!!

Very nice looking boolit - are you going to try some testing before taking them out - Water Jugs?

Sometimes I get a shot at a big hog and prefer a shoulder shot to anchor it, the RD 460-350 isn't afraid of big bones and ruins very little meat on a deer. Deer I shot Saturday with that boolit folded up on the spot with very little damage. Same boolit smashed a shoulder and the spine of a big hog a few weeks ago, died in it's tracks as well. All without a HP. Nothing against HP's but in the 45-70 I simply don't want or need them for hunting the critters I hunt.

Those are awesome!

Those are some beautiful bullets. I think I need that mold!
