I got a 175gr pointy boolit from Blammer and NOE recently. It cast well, and I made up a few hundred to test fit and make sure my load was OK. all that worked out. Next step was to see if it worked as I had hoped. I bought it for bowling pins. Shooting pins, if you are off-center by much the pin will often fall and spin on the table. It gets worse if the falling pin knocks over one next to it. The target gets significantly smaller when that happens. Good hits will carry the pin right off the table without even a bounce.
As you can tell by the thread title, the pointy boolits work, and work well. I had previously been a mid-pack finisher at best in pin matches. Today the only guys who beat me were the 2 old-timers who always win and shoot off. I would have placed 2nd if I had won 1 more round, won it outright if I had beaten the winner in our round. It was that close, and with a bit more practice, I will give them a run for their spot.
It was very apparent that the sweet spot for hitting the pins was wider for me. They also carried off the table well, and a couple of the competitors were kinda jealous that I had boolits that were an advantage.
Anyhow, I was quite pleased with the results, and thot I'd post it here for the benefit of any who might want to know.
Now, if I could find the same in .45. Swede, where are you?
