Remy, it's my pleasure! I enjoy testing out what ever is new in the shooting sports. I guess the everyday stuff is getting boring, so I look for new endeavors. I'm only getting started, I have a few ideas to explore before getting ready for this year's deer hunt Nov. 22. IF I get a good load that's repeatable, I may carry the shotgun, even in rifle territory.
I'm thinking of casting some of those 440's in 20-1 lead tin alloy. Make them softer, maybe the sabot can get a better bite on the boolit. Besides, they would expand better too. Now calm down James, the hard cast has it's place also! That wide meplat of that 440 don't need to expand to cause trauma.
