I have read from time to time about the use of 50/50 alloy for hunting. With the right lube and powder good accuracy, velocity and terminal ballistics for whitetail deer are reported. But I haven't found a good discussion of this use of 50/50 in my searches. I have both Pb and WW in my shop. But to date have used only WW for my rifle bullets (7mm-08 and 338 Federal). If I can stretch my WW with my Pb I am interested in casting some 7mm and .338 bullets.
If you know of a discussion string of this topic, would you please send me a link? If none exists, would you please share your use of 50/50: mould used, recommended powders, lube used, velocity and accuracy achieved, and its performance on whitetail deer sized game.
Thank you. I look forward to your comments,
MichiganMike
