The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

I couldn't sight it too close, being a 11" LOP. Everyone sees sights different, had to leave something for her and Dean to play with.Waiting to see Tammy's pic that actually puts them in the white
