Funny how a good report here seems to be more enjoyable and more realistic than what appears in those magazine articles. Might be because we kinda know the participants.

Was that bullet Jacob used hard cast?
Thanks, the bullet in the picture that Jacob used is hardened between 6 and 7 BHN. 5 BHN is pure and a wheel weight is 12 BHN. so it is not hardened much. When developing the load I increased the hardness to get the best group. Most of the time these bullets are never found. We got lucky with this one because it went through so many bones and was caught in the thicker neck skin.
