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.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
rule violation, posting links to competitive sites. At least thats what i was told by a moderator on here.

i queried the CB mods about putting up site forum links to/for informational purposes and they approved as long as there's no shilling or selling or for-profit orgs.
well then www.FrontierMuzzleloading.com is a great site for muzzleloading info. Facebook also has a ton of muzzleloading pages/groups.
If interests ever extend to Long Range Muzzle Loading, I have lots of information on the subject, also British military long arms. There’s also an extensive library of free to download articles and a magazine. Have a browse at:
