Cast bullets in hunting rifles.

[dovehunter]

I have worked up a load for my .45 Colt Blackhawk using a store-bought hard-cast 255 gr. SWC bullets over 20 gr. of Lil'Gun to use for deer hunting next fall. I have been practicing shooting off-hand with a two-hand hold until I can usually place all my shots in or near the black at 50-yds on a 25-yd. slow-fire pistol target. Now I just for hunting season to come in.

I have been shooting a lot of store-bought cast handgun bullets for plinking and am liking them more and more. You can't seem to buy cast bullets in rifle calibers around here, but I'd like to try them too. I guess I am going to have to get into bullet casting. Like you, I have been saving up old tire weights for a long time. I guess I need to start putting them to use.
