try try again,one day I'll get this.

I think I done it,let's try one or two more......apparently you must open new thread to do this.

I cast that boolit from wheel weights and bar solder.I was able to recover one from the dirt after firing.It retained 100% weight,only a slight scuff mark,no mushrooming at all.I think that is too hard of lead,should it not have deformed some?Should I soften the alloy?

What did you shoot it in Taylor?What load?

Thompson Center Scout,the one that I have posted about on various occasions.Didn't mean to leave you hanging,but got to playing around with those picture.That took all my concentration.90 grains,the boolit is 240/.430 Lee .44 with a Knight sabot.

I think wheel weight is too hard for deer. A guy could make a case for bullets that hard for elk or Moose, maybe buffalo, but the weight would need to be heavier. I would not go any harder than 30-1 or 9 BHN. that is just my opinion and only worth what you paid for it. Ron
