Default 52Bore' 542 Grain Pure Lead Conical







This bullet was cast and provided by 52Bore. It is my understanding the mold was designed by he, and JD. The mold is currently available for purchase from Buffalo Arms Company. The bullet was shot through carpet, plywood, water jugs, and into a phone book. Range was 25 yard. Powder charge was 80g Blackhorn.





















The first two jugs were destroyed, and flattened. The next four jugs have holes in and out. The fourth jug has the bottom blown out, as does the fifth jug. The bullet penetrated about 1/4 the way into the phone book, and ended up on the ground about 3' behind the horse. The bullet weighs 538.2 grain.
