In some of the readings I've done in here it seems that Tin(I'm using pewter) helps with keeping the hollow point pedals of the 44 mag devastators I'm casting from shearing off. I've tried pure lead with 6% pewter with a Bh around 6.5 at 1675fps and ended up with a completely flatten bullet that was about 1/4" wider than it started with and I'm guessing a little less than a 100g left from the original 270g. I couldn't catch my acccow 14 Bh that went through 8 jugs of wAter and kept cruising. I've seen pics of these caught by other members with the pedals sheered off. I mixed up 50/50...acccow that has a Bh around 14 and my soft lead with a Bh around 6. I also added 2% pewter. I figured this would be a happy medium for optimum expansion and still a good amount of weight retention for thin skinned whitetails. I plan on using these in my Ruger 77/44 and going to try h110 from 21 to 23g and see how my groupings are. I'm wondering if I would gain anything by adding, say a total of 6% or more of pewter in the idea of keeping my boolit pedals from shearing off?
