I was recently gifted a number of these bullets. I'm wondering what they might be considered useful for. These are powder coated, plain base, HP, with hardness I'm told 12+.
Gun will be S&W 29-2.
Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.
I forgot to mention, these weigh between 209 and 212 grains.
If I had that combination, I'd stoke cases with a stout charge of H2400, and have a flat shooting deer and wolf load.
Remember: Ammo will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no ammo.
Thank you, Steyr376. I haven't hunted with cast HP bullets. Interested..
2400 might give more speed than H110/296. It usually shoots smaller.groups for.me. I load a simpler bullet over 6 or 7 grains of Red Dot and shoot rabbits. With the hotter load there is not a deer going that won't roll over and put their hooves in the air with a good hit.
