I am going black bear hunting in September. My gun of choice is a Thompson Center Encore chambered in 500 Linebaugh.
My load is 36.0 gr's of w 296 with a 400 gr boolit. Now the sticky, I have a number of alloy's to choose from like 20/1,25/1,ww/50/50 ww/pb, and isotope lead. I am leaning towards a binary alloy but have not fully decided. Which alloy would you use? Would you go hard or use something that will expand,or do I need to even need worry about the alloy? By the way that combination out of my gun is traveling at 1800 fps. :killingpc
Oh I also have molds for 350,400,425,450 and 500 gr boolits some cup points and some with hollow points
