SAECO #264, no after firing examples cause it does them little good to hit steel silhouettes with them.

I have many moulds for the .358 caliber and they range from this little 74 gr. to the 214 gr.. By far I shoot many more of the 74 gr. boolit easy on the lead supply and powder supply and the cases last a long time. It will handle 85% of my shooting from plinking to varmints. For me the .358 is the ideal pistol round. The 214 gr. is my linebacker round.

Here is my .359-180 XLMNGC before and after.

Shot from a 357 mag Blackhawk.

After is recovered from a butcher steer with weight on the hoof of 1120 pounds. Shot through the skull, broke the neck vertabre and found the bullet 26" down the neck at the end of the loin. Penetration straight and bullet found nose forward, no tipping nor tumbling. Recovered weight of 166 grains.

Good potential for 600, 200g hollow tip Mihec's.
8.25" long, 3" wide. Rescued from a scap yard.

That looks like a lure that ice fisherman use for spearing. It may have value for collectors.

If solid lead, it's likely a downrigger weight. What do you Arkansas boys know about ice fishing anyway ;-)

The 600 grain in all its glory!!
Just can't help but love the 500mag

[Tom_in_AZ]

Black Pearl, those 600 grainers must be tough on the hands/wrists!

[The Black Pearl]

all depends on the powder....

[oldrodder]

I love the "pentagon" hollow point!!

[kaytod]

How much did they end up weighing with the hollow point?
