Hornady 45cal 255 FP lead
I just acquired a large number of these at a cheap price.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these loaded in a 45 LC. Accuracy, performance on game animals and such.
Thanks

These are a swaged, soft alloy bullet, they will work fine on game but usually you can't lean on them very hard without leading so you will have to experiment to see how fast you can run them & still maintain accuracy without heavy leading.
Remember this same style bullet ended a lot of gunfights using blackpowder at about 900 fps.
