Re: First Time Handgun Hunting
Ah. Thank you for the feedback Pato. So hardcast lead would be optimal? Impala produces some interesting bullets that may be an answer, see the link below.

Re: First Time Handgun Hunting
I would shy away from a bullet as light as 110 gr. Go with the one that's been proven to work well, a heavy hard cast Keith-style lead bullet. You can get the molds from a couple of companies and I'm sure there is no shortage of wheel weights or lead/antimony alloys to cast your own.
In the first row above I would suggest the last one (358-158-RF) or the third one from the right (C358-158-SWC). If you can find a heavier one, so much the better.

Found some 158gr SWC hard cast bullets. Opted for Hodgdon Lil'Gun propellant because not much else available. Can't wait for July to go hunting.
