So that's it!
Nice.
I can't touch them for what bass pro wants for them.
I did get a decent deal on some Hornady XTP/Magnum 240 gr. Free.
Not from Bass pro of course, got a buddy that refuses to shoot anything but Powerbelts anymore, and gave me a box of the Hornady XTP.
I have 27 of them, so I should be able to work up a fairly accurate load.
I'll be experimenting with those tomorrow in the KRB.

Make sure your buddy reads up on the info i have available.

Also, when anti gun ebay used to allow bullet sales, i was able to get them from this one guy for $8 a pack.

LMF browning solution. It took close to 2 weeks to do all the trim.

I just casted close to 200 round balls for her, still enough lead to cast 300 more
She'll be put to use thats for sure.
