yards...I use surprised...4 out of 7 in one ragged hole...I was tatally
impressed with it and night try it again...I just wish I knew the alloy
of these bullets..But once they are gone thats it...I need to get a bullet
of a consistent alloy or my shooting,loading will be a question as to the
bullet..I am guessing that it is a hard alloy..
Now to ask you fellows a question about this duplex,if I may....
When you are done shooting do you need to wash the cases like with
straight black powder..And if your using the duplex load,are you using
a grease cookie? If not do you find it better to wipe between shot or
are you find this not needed as well....Please splain more to this
old bullet riddled body of an old bastard.....:coffee:
