Original paper patched bullet designs?

[Distant Thunder]

SB,
This first batch was cast from what I had is my pot, a mix of lead, tin, & antimony that gives me about 10-11 BHN, roughly a 16:1 hardness. It is a mix I have used for years in my long range .45 caliber ppb. It shoots very well for me in my .45-70 and .45-90. For gongs with my little .50 it will do well too. Gongs are the primary target for this rifle and bullet. That should be a bunch of fun trying to hit the various shapes and sizes of gongs with these sights. I hope to find out in a couple of weeks.

I thought I had, should I decide to hunt with this rifle and bullet, is that I could easily put a flat on the tip. I have done that with other bullets and it greatly improves performance on game. It would be much easier to put a flat on a hand full of bullets than make another mold.
