They do make for good eating. Of the six deer species in the UK, there are actually two smaller: the muntjac (with its "fangs") and the Chinese Water deer (with its tusks!)

Gralloch done, I left her cooling and resumed the hunt. A second doe, fallow this time, presented a shot right on the edge of a water-logged copse. Despite good shot placement she dead-ran...

Took the Cyber-punk 45-70 Marlin GSBL out hunting and grassed some tasty deer (and a fox for good measure.)

Suppressors (or moderators here) are relatively easy to get, but still controlled; your Firearms Certificate (FAC, which you need to buy, own and use firearms) needs to stipulate that you can have...

It's not semi-auto, just a straight-pull. We can have s/auto 22LR and shotgun.

In theory we can have other stuff but even more tightly controlled, to the extent that ownership is impossible for...

I got the meat, yes.

This particular can is not user serviceable (all but one of my others are.)

Ice pick wounding is a concern, though I’ve not seen it yet. As a result, I had a mag with 125gr Speer TNT supersonic loads in my pocket (125SST and 110Vmax are alternatives I’ve got loads for- they...

It’s soft (BHN 9.2 using the Lee tester), just lead and a little tin, but only marginal stability in my barrel (1:8) at this speed. As a result, in everything I’ve shot with it (not much), it seems...

Recovering 240gr cast bullet:

Yesterday I got a call to deal with two fallow bucks tangled together in someone’s garden.

One turned out to be dead already but the other was thrashing about intermittently and was able to drag...

Thanks. That's useful.



As you may have recognised, my 240gr bullet is the NOE 230gr Blackout bullet; I've only ever used it for subsonic in my 300Blackout.

The new NOE Mold arrived today...

I think I'll try the 240gr boolit but this came in the post today:

Thanks everyone. I may experiment with this 240gr boolit but I've re-measured my chamber cast and decided to buy an NOE 316302 after all.

I recently acquired a rather tired 1944 Long Branch Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1* (too cheap not to take the chance!) My intention is to shoot cast bullets, initially at 100m. It may see longer range use....

Thanks for all the ideas. Slower sounds like a plan.



Here you go:

No, though it's possible one of the previous owners did it already.

I also haven't tried the forend hangar mod.

Some final post-mortem pics documenting Mjöllnir terminal ballistics of chest-shot Fallow deer:

I usually take a high-heart shot but if not accessible, and conditions allow (my limitations included) I'll take a head or neck shot.

Headshot with Mjöllnir (small buck)...

These are my main quarry, Fallow deer (does, in this case):

We have 5 other deer species in GB....

Warning, hunting and post mortem pics. If you are upset by such things... why are you here?!


I've been hunting here in Great Britain with a 460gr bullet that I "designed" on Mountain Mold's...

Arguably faster than necessary: 1800fps muzzle, estimated impacted 1600fps.

I just edited my post as I noticed predictive text had changed 1800fps to GPS.

Ruger No.1
Only monotype because I had a ready supply.

If you are generalising, I'd say "no, cast bullets do not blow-up on hitting bone".

As already stated, there are many variables which, in the wrong combination, can cause a cast bullet to break...

I think it's an early Magpul UBR

I use a moderator for all my hunting: .22LR, .17HMR, .223Rem, .243Win, .308Win, .300Whisper, .284win, 7WSM.

My only guns that aren't threaded for a mod: Marlin 1894 .357Mag, 1894 Cowboy 45Colt,...
