[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2193222, member: 109994"] I don't think you're full of it, nor am I trying to prove you wrong. I'm just trying to reconcile what I've read in my research with your experience, that is all. I aIppreciate all your advice! And I hope there's no hard feelings. I checked my books and neither say linotype would be too brittle, but Lyman says their alloy is best for hunting, of course. Maybe higher antimony bullets would be more brittle than a Lyman 2 alloy, but I guess that doesn't mean they would fracture entering a thick skinned animal. On the bullets you have recovered, did they expand much? Just wondering. I'll have to try some linotype bullets sometime soon. I'll also use straight BP with my softer bullets to see what happens.
