Greyghost,

Into what were those fired? I didn't think that just using a J4 would be enough to let them expand that much at that low of a velocity. It's encouraging that I might yet find a deer bullet for subsonic use. :smile:

wet paper but the jackets were annealed before core seating.

Try C38500/C385 (Architectural Bronze) its free machining and rather cheap and is close to what the other monolithic style custom bullet makers are using.

another good way to achive good expansion at low velocity is to fill the hollow point with petrolium jelly. :wink: REALLY.
