    It does my heart good to see people making their own stuff, rather than buying it.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    If I could do work that like that I would be doing it for myself. I have not seen anything for sell that looks as good as that and I have been looking.

    I have that problem where I see something I like and I head straight for the workshop to figure out how to do it.
    Thank you all.

    That's how I have learned how to do so many things over the years. Can't afford it, so I make it.
