Something to share

RE: Something to share
Here are 4 bullets that where shot with the same alloy from the same casting session. The alloy is 1/19 (19# lead 1# roll of 95-5 tin antimony solder) The left bullet was shot from the .45-90 and the three other were shot using the .45-70 with 70 gr of 2F OE.
The .45-90 on the left had a lube wad between two .023" card wads.
The .45-70 2nd from left had a lube wad between two .023 card wads.
The 3rd .45-70 had a .023 card over the powder and a lube wad cork under the bullet.
4th .45-70 had a .023 card over the powder felt and a .023 under the bullet.
All the .45-70's had the same powder loads just different wad stacks. The .45-90 got hit to hard with the alloy and wad stack used, but would work, but after a few shots fired lead would be an issue.
The second next to the .45-90 is what I want for a match bullet for the .45-70.
The third would be OK but the forth would be iffy.
I took the pictures from 4 different angles to change how the light hits them.

The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
