Digging through the lead trap the other day, the front of it is completely demolished so I needed to empty it and put new front on. I'll post more pictures later.
But something caught my eye.

I saw the brown bottom and realized that I had used these wads only on a couple different boolits. One is some boolits sent to me by a fellow member, and the others were the Lee 500 grain 50-70 boolit.
I weighed it to determine and sure enough it was the ones sent to me. 584 grains was what the boolit weighed. I believe that it started off at 588 or so. I am not sure if I ever wrote it down. However, I know that the only load I shot behind these was 70 grains of pyro RS.
It is amazing, I found other boolits I will post, but the way this boolit expanded is very nice. I remember shooting them and thinking - "this would hurt something if it got hit by it". It produced a very loud whack when I was shooting them. I highly doubt that this boolit got over 1250 fps. I cant wait to find the Lee boolits I shot. They were also only shot with 70 grains behind them.
All I know is that these were some accurate boolits. Makes me want to go out and shoot some more.
