    Hunted with PP in an original SS for years in Alaska. Load was a 45-2 7/8" case, 550 grain PP bullet with a healthy dose of 1fg black. Shot two Dahl Rams with the load. One at a decent distance. That shot was a Texas heart shot. Bullet exited the chest. Over four feet of penetration.Worst part about using PP was the rifle weighted 11# 11 ounces. Not what you would call a mountain rifle.

    When I first got my 9.3x57, moulds were hard to find, jacketed expensive. Swaged pure lead in a CH/4D .358 dies with 1/2 jackets (after casting cores myself). Then patched up to .368. Very accurate with full or reduced loads. Devasting on deer, but labor intensive. Perhaps if can get out chasing elk I'll use them again.
