Deer are my primary target. I know I'm asking a lot of that gun at that particular velocity but I'm trying to stay as quite as possible. I've had some luck with the Oregon trail laser cast 210 round nose. It works only because it tumbles on impact. The lead is to hard to expand or deform. I was just thinking of trying to pour some with some softer lead maybe. I have some medical grade lead that tey claim is 99% pure. I'm pushing the 210 with 8.5 gr of trail boss and getting decent accuracy. I just want something that will expand on impact. I don't want to rely on the bullet tumbling or penciling through I'm looking for something more reliable. If I pour some out of pure lead will that be to soft?
