Wow, this went sideways. Not needed.
Gnoahhh, correct me if I am wrong but aren’t gas checks supposed to mitigate one of the main causes of leading with softer cast? I.E gas cutting of the base at high pressure.
As far as who started it, I got turned onto them hunting deer with a 41 mag back in the 80’s. HP’s gave very erratic performance on them critters unless you punched em within 25 yards, especially if you happened to hit bone. I can push a hard cast (18 Bnh) 215 damn near as fast as a 210 JHP w/o gas check or leading, devastating on deer sized critters out to 75 yards even hitting bone.
