Baco Jim 442 500

[Tgc]

Gentlemen , here are some photos of my recent firing and recovery test. I cast a few of the Jim 442 500 bullets using Rix mix lead alloy, wrapped in canson tracing paper. The cartridge is my 44 90 straight. Brass is stretched remmington 45 70, trimmed to 2.40". Primer is cci br-2. Coffee filter under power, 90 grains of Swiss 1.5 f. I compressed with a milk carton wad, then added a wad cut from a 5 gallon plastic bucket. I shot three rounds into a snow bank I made by shoveling the driveway. One of the bullets must have struck something in the snow. I added a couple of unfired bullets for comparison. I welcome any interpretation of the results from the forum membership. Tim
