Cast bullets for hog hunting
I'm thinking about using my Rossi 45 Colt with 300 grain Saeco gas checked bullets. I'll be loading 20 grains of H110, as that is what the rifle likes best with this bullet. The bullets will be wheel weights with a bit of tin, water chilled at casting.
I'm thinking the bullet hardness and velocity should be apropriate but would those with experience please give me the benefit of your expertise.

Yes this mold is the Saeco 300 grain gas checked bullet. I originally got it to use in a 45 Colt Anaconda, works great in both.

Where are you planning on hunting? I'm planning on a hunt in SC sometime in the near future.

Hey guys, the "West Was Won" with cast bullets! I have to laugh everytime I see some ask if they will work? 10,000,000 dead buffalo can't all be wrong. [Smile]
