[attach=config]139417[/attac. Despite the weather our Turkey season wasn't horrible, with snow, rain, wind, sun, My girlfriend and I managed to get two birds down in the same high Sierra mountain area. She shot hers on Saturday and I got this one on Sunday, we both used the Airforce Condor that I converted to shoot .257 bullets.
The Sunday I got my bird we had snow mostly all morning crazy turkey weather, When the day before it was sunny and in the 70's, I feel fortunate to have taken this bird with bullets I had cast myself, Im using the RCBS 25-85-cm with range lead it drops bullets at 89.9 grains and this is what I have been using, since I have a bunch of it recovered from a local range, with the new lead laws coming along starting next year for turkey I have been working on leadfree alloy using roto metals alloy, this stuff is spendy so my testing has been limited, it shoots well from my gun but doesn't deform like lead after shooting it through 2x4's the bullets I have recovered show some flaking around the tip but no expansion, lead will do a slight expansion but not much at airgun velocity.
