I've been getting ready for the up-coming deer season.
And have changed the recipe of the lead I use for my boolits. In the past my
boolits (lyman 429640 HP) were made with w-w and about
4% tin. They shot so-so at 75yds. Last week I decided to try 10-1
lead-tin with about 3% shot added for hardness with water drop.
While testing this load, I soon saw that they shot very, very good!
At 50 yds with a tru-glow dot sight, 5 shots were grouping just under 2".
About 100 yds. 5 shots @ 4 1/2 " with the first 4 boolits going in a 1 1/2" group.
The Question is this; Will the arsnic in the shot harden it too much for the hollow point to expand well? And if so, will it be to brittle.
My opinion is that it should be ok for proper expanstion.
I hate to change anything because it shoots so well.
