Any of you guys ever try these.
When Veral Smith was making moulds, I got one of his nose molds for the 300gr. LFN bullet design of his.
I have cast quite a few and checked several after casting and found that they fused together very well. Using vise-grips and a table vise all it would do is deform, it would not separate.
I decided to try them out deer hunting this year. Never again!
I am mainly a meat hunter and thought a shoulder shot on a doe would do the least meat damage. Well the bullet went where I was aiming, but apparently the bullet decided to separate. the main body of the bullet went through and tumbled back through the guts and came out high on the lower back. The nose traveled through the rest of the insides and came out the ham the opposite of the direction I was shooting.
This should be great for varmints and predators, but I won't use them for deer again. I'll probably just use straight WW metal from now on.
Any one else experience this type of performance with soft nose bullets?
