I LOVE cast boolits.
We've taken 5 deer with 5 boolits this year. And I made them all.
A friend shot one at about 60yds with my brothers 357 lever gun and a Lee 158gr RF thru the lungs. Went about 35yds and died.
My brother shot one at 250yds with 45 colt lever gun and the Lee 310 RF. Neck shot and insta-drop.
I shot one with 44 mag lever gun and 250gr RCBS SWC. About 30yds away. Neck shot and Insta-drop.
The wife used a 30-06 and 180gr RCBS SP, hollow pointed with 1/16" and 1/4" deep. About 100yds and the deer only went about 20 more before it died with a boolit thru the heart.
I got another at 120yds with the 44 rifle thru the lungs. She made it another 40yds. The insides where all jelly.
We didnt recover a boolit as they were all in and out.
Lets see. Those 5 boolits add up to around 1100gr. Since I got my WW for free, thats pretty cheap shooting.
My Dad and one daughter still have 3 deer to shoot and another daughter has an elk tag. Maybe they'll use the cast boolits too.
