All it takes is a mold, a melting pot, ladel, some lead, antimony and tin and you can cast your own bullets to give the performance you're looking for. Water quenching will harden them even more depending on what alloy you're concocting. So why don't any of you cast your own ML bullets?-Steve
When I started reading this thread it sounded like my buddies hunt from Sat. He shot a bull at 80 yards with 348 gr lead powerbelts and cartwheeled the bull. High fives all around and then...This bull get's up and walk's off. Shot #2 no response. #3 bull he is headed deep down a whole. He shoot's this bull with all five powerbelts he is carrying and is out of lead. Finally has to finish him with someone else's gun and a jacketed round. During the skinning he got all five round's from that bull and none of them penetrated. All five were turned into blobs of lead.
