Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Are my lead bullets too hard for hunting?

Cast hunting bullets should not be hard, simple as that. What Gnoahhh said covers it well. On the other hand, if one has a sense of humor, pure lead that is paper patched does the trick quite well.



That bullet left the muzzle of my 77/44 at ~1600 fps and was recovered from the deer shot at 80 yards. Broke both forelegs, 5 ribs and cut the heart in half. Nothing shot with it ever took a step.

So, how accurate can such things be? 8 shots...
