My favorite comes from a mold, Verl Smith of LBT molds made for me. It's a 285 gr WFN (wide flat nose). I used it in both of my Ruger Bisley's and my Win M92 lever gun. I can load it up for elk, bear, etc. I can load it down for plinking and practice. I can use pure lead with about 2% tin added for low velocity stuff. Straight wheel weights make a great "every day" bullet or I can drop those WW bullet directly into water to increase their BHN for faster velocity rounds. When I put the petal to the metal, I get about 1150 in my 5.5" Bisley or 1550 fps in the 20" Win M92. Used it quite successfully to harvest a nice mule deer at 100 yds with an open sight Win M1873 lever gun at standard SAAMI pressure loads. Fed very well in that lever gun, too. It just works.
