    Photos are of two different bullets and different alloys. Not finished testing but ran out of milk jugs . More tests to follow.

    They are all accurate. About 1 1/2” groups at 50 yds. Open sights, 70 year old eyes.

    Murf205, you are right, we live in a hunters paradise. I can literally walk out my back door and hunt moose, bear and both mule and whitetail deer and it’s a short drive to sheep, goats and Cariboo. Sadly, development and climate change are causing stress on our game populations. I envy the guys that get to hunt pigs and turkeys.

    Make mine the 6-jugger. Might even decrease the amount of pure in your WW, or even eliminate it entirely. WW at 12 BHN should still expand, might likely group better, and poke a little deeper.
    WWJMBD?

    In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.

    Yep, mine too! I shot a mule buck with the 245 grain boolit cast of COWW +2% tin last year. He staggered 3 steps sideways and went down for good. Double lung shot , only hit one rib. Lungs were devastated.
