Alloy for. Hollow point 44

[catkiller45]

So,what's a good alloy for
casting hollow point bullets?
To cold to cast today. Minus 6
out there..

I use 1/25 tin/pure for my HP cast boolits. It expands very well.

[Outpost75]

I use 1 to 30 tin-lead from Roto Metals for my revolver HPs and for .44-40 rifle.

[Winger Ed.]

The softer they are, the more they'll expand at lower speeds than a hard alloy.

My .44 magnum deer load is 50/50 WW's and pure lead with tin added. I shoot a 245 grain HP boolit.

20;1, 25:1, 30:1, excellent from 800-1250 fps (I haven’t gone higher)

Good luck

Keep 'em on the soft side for good expansion. I cast HP's in 9mm, 38, 44, and 45 and generally use 7-9 hardness +PC (of course!). And don't try to blow the doors off with high-speed loads as many seem to try for. A good heavy 44 slug at lower velocities will do the trick with HP's.

Save your hot loads (and your body joints!) for Dirty Harry action!
