All right. The short and sweet version of the performance was this. I cast a small batch with my standard HP alloy that gives outstanding performance in several other calibers and nose designs: 50/50 WW alloy with dead-soft, then add 2% tin. I loaded a bottom end wadcutter load and a top-end load, both for .357 mag. The bottom end blew the nose all to pieces within the first water jug and penetrated a total of three jugs at about 850fps. The top-end load peeled the nose off in an intact doughnut and penetrated three jugs. Slower came apart while faster retained.
