[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2214784, member: 36999"] Thank you for all of the responses, I was out of service range all of yesterday on a tuna trip so I didn’t really get a chance to read them until tonight. After reading your suggestions and experiences I think what I’m going to do is to buy some paper patched bullets and test to see how they shoot in my gun. If they work well I am going to buy a mould and try casting some using my late grandfathers old smelting gear from when he used to make his own fishing sinkers. I’ll practice with some other lead to get the technique right and then load some using his lead to check accuracy and take with me on the hunt. I doubt he would have ever dreamed that his stuff would be used to take a bison but I’m sure if he was still here he would thoroughly enjoy the trip. I convinced my brother to carry my back up rifle for me, i don’t plan to use it but I n the event something goes wrong I’ll have my custom 300 Win Mag to fall back on. [/QUOTE]
