    Have to wonder if for carry in a revolver extra soft lead especially with PC wouldn't make sense. After all in a SD situation a little leading probably wouldn't matter, if you survive you can chore boy the barrel. Soft lead expands, has more weight for a given size bullet so why not PC some "black" SD rounds out of a softer lead and then have a bunch in other colors of PC that have a bit more alloy for harder bullet used for target practice without leading. Don't really care about expansion in the backstop or on paper. Not going to shoot long range with a Bulldog so any subtle shifts in point of impact should be negligible.

    Just wondering. Step son shoots a 44 and has it for home defense.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    This has been kicked around here many times. Penitration is a good thing. Now let,s see if the bad guy is in T shirt and slacks will the prepared boolit go all the way through the bad guy? Now winter in michigan is qiute cold so now the bad guy is wareing T shirt, a flannel shirt, and a carhart jacket, will the prepared boolit even penitrate to the vitals? Every senario is different for us. Will one type/style boolit do for every bad guy senario? Well no but we do the best we can with what we have to fight the bad guy. No one gun, no one boolit nor one powder will do everyones self defense round. HP's at times act like a wide, flat meplit boolit. Other times they will open up and peel back like never seen before.
    I don't go to town much so my fight will probably be on the farm with a russeler, yours if you live in town will be on the street. As a store owner yours will probably be in the store. We just have to look at how will we react to our situation.

    I still maintain that if you put a hole through a critter it will be hurt.
