Lead in nose, lead in base, and 6 hard cards in the middle. These were fired at approximately 1200 fps...nice moderate load that doesn't beat you up. Slugs look pristine, other than rifling grooves. I was hoping for some expansion, but that is not the case. I'll expose more lead at the tip, that will help them swell a bit when they hit. D

Outstanding brother! It would be cool to have some expansion, but at that size, it don't think the animals gonna care either way.

Awaiting your next test!
