    I do for 44 caliber. 200 to 320 grains. 320's are fun in a SRH but hurt in a steel butted light carbine.

    I like using 22 shorts in the BT simple set I just got. They make awesome little spire points with a 51 gr core.

    I make some 200 grn 1/2 jacket for 44 only because I got the at a very good price. They work well in the single die step bullet swage dies like the CH4D 105 and the Swage-it dies now sold by Hawk precision bullets.

    This type of bullet with a distinctive ridge under the nose.
