So, I shot my first animal with a cast bullet yesterday. Smoked a hog at about 50 yards with a powder coated 280gr NOE HP mold for my 358 Winchester. I am shooting it at about 1000 FPS through a suppressor. Dropped the hog in its tracks.
Today, I shot a doe in the neck where the neck meets the chest at about 60 yards. She ran 20 yards and dropped. When I dress the doe, there is damage everywhere.
