Jimmy MacLee SWC's for Hunting ?
I have been playing with my Super Blackhawk again after a long hiatus from it.
Tonight I loaded up some of the Lee 240 swc's, and noticed how much smaller (rounder) the meplat is than some of the commercial cast stuff I had kicking around.
Has anybody had any experience using this bullet for deer hunting ? I am concerned that this bullet will act more like a roundnose than a squarer swc.
Comments ?

For the price of a Lee mold I would look at the rf series in 44, 45, and 38 calibers. None I have group as weel as the LY keith bullets but the meplate on the lee swc is lacking in diameter especially in the lighter weights. Gianni.

NBHunterI use the SWC for Target and small game in .430 cal but as noted the nose is sumwhat rounded for larger animals so for them I use the WFP in a heavy weight.
