Ever since getting back into casting bullets a couple years ago I've been wondering how they'd work on game. My mould for the .45-70 is for a big RN bullet for silhouette competition but the one I use for my .44 pistols drops 240 gr. RNFPGC that I cast from #2 alloy. Here in Mt. we could take a number of deer this year so I set out to take fill one of my WT doe tags with the Contender .44 wearing a Tru-Glo red dot. That turned out to be an excellent outfit for use in the low light of the deep woods. One very windy day I managed to use the wind noise to cover my noisy footsteps in the dry twigs and needles and got up within 30 yds. As she turned to leave I put the shot through her last rib and angled it through her heart and on out the offhand shoulder. As often happens with a heart shot she managed to go 60 yds. before going down. The lead penetrated better than any jacketed I've used and the damage was about the same. It didn't blow up but tore her heart to shreds. I was impressed!
