Jeese that's impressive. They didn't seem to tumble either. Usually Foster slugs are nose heavy with a hollow base to fly straight and not tumble, but yours are all solid? Did any of the shots...
Larry thank-you for that very informative read. I was unaware that low charge detonation, and that's what I was refering to, had been disproven. I am very interested this summer in shooting some cast...
I've just come upon a quanity of AA#2, AA#5, 700X, and 800X. I was wondering about your experiences with gas checked/non-gas checked cast bullet loads in fat 30 calibres such as 303 Brit, 7.65...

I got 2 pounds of the stuff from Higginson Powders in Ontario. I contacted Andrew Higginson for some load data, and all he could supply was 358 gr. bullet for .357 Mag. and 240 gr. for .44 Mag. He...
