I used many of those bullets years ago. Loaded right from the box. Seems like they were dusted with some type of dry lube, similar to what Hornady uses. While they are very soft, I never had a...

Experiment a little. My 1949 vintage carbine, with a good receiver sight, will keep five 170 grain Hornady flat points under two inches at 100 yards. Not blazing, but 36.0 grains of WW748 gets me...
