[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1688043, member: 87243"] And also, even cast lead expands, depending on how hard it is cast. My father uses a lever 44 mag for brush stuff, but he uses nearly pure lead with no linotype, and is shooting around 1850-1900 fps, so they certainly expand. He experimented with different alloy mixtures through water jugs to make sure he was getting expansion as well. The only thing he would even consider using hard cast for is bear protection out of a handgun. But even a nearly pure lead mixture passed completely through a cow elk at 75 yards, with a fist sized exit, dropped her where she stood. I dont think a hard cast projectile, or non expanding bullet, would have nearly as dramatic of an effect. [/QUOTE]
