Chet, if you would like to try some of them 250g Deep Curl, i have some that haven't been shot yet. You are sure welcome to pick them up, the next time you are in town. There are also some Nosler 260g partition available to try. Also, there are some 250g 44 caliber partition.

Hey Chet! would you do me an experiment if and when you get an opportunity...

Load up up one of the littlehorns with the same charge and bullet you were using... Place a gallon milk jug full of water @ 50 yards and shoot it

Then get a picture of the jug... If you can do it and get time to do it i will suggest what to look for after you have made the shot.

I can do that, especially since the pink one is loaded from yesterday and I was going to unload it and clean it. I will try to find a jug and do that this evening.

Looks like you should be asking Micah for some shooting instructions.
