Giday Wolfdog. Milky Duck mentioned there were questions for me here. Happy to chat although not doing any casting now as was mentioned I am spending almost all my time making knives now in my retirement. This is the bullet

The load is 39gn H4350 (ADI2209) at 2415fps for 5 into 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 in at 100yds. Have not stopped one in an animal to date and the recovered exsample came from the back stop to my target. This is a dirt-clay bank that I have put many thousands of bullets into and has a path about 2 ft wide by 3ft deep into the bank that has been softened by the path of the bullets. Have tracked a bullet from the front of goat to exit in hams and am confident enough that I would use it on a big wet west coast wapiti should the chance arrise to take one.

Open sight zeroed at 150 for 3.3in down at 200yds and down 9 at 250 where it still has 1740fps

Alloy is lino base with 65gn of 50/50 ww/pb for the nose.

Use the remelted two part method in that I cast up enough 50/50 bullets then cut the nose off to put asside for later when I put it back into the mould and fill with lino, placing the mould back into the pot to remelt the two parts together.
All work up loads are done with straight lino as the softnosed hunting bullets shoot to same poi at same vel as the straight lino. I did find accuracy was a little better using a TCBK wool wad over the charge.
