The two on the left (now mind you this was a while ago) I think came out of the berm when mining lead. The one on the right I believe cam from a bowling pin.

Also, if I remember correctly, The bullets are 240 grn. with 22 grns. of W296. I can't remember if I shot them out of a 7.5" SBH or a 9.5" SRH.

here is a video of a friends YT channel that i sent some .45acp bullets made with .40s&w cases for jackets using a .243 sizing die that i modified to test in his balistic gel. also i sent him some lead swaged bullets using the C&H 101 swage dies. the results were suprising. the cores were made from Lyman #2 mixture so they were fairly hard.
