Hey, I got to thinking while reading and responding to the .44 Bullets for Whitetails thread in The Hunt forum; does anyone know of a good, sharp-shouldered SWC .44 or .45 bullet that is FMJ, or nearly so? It could even have a tad bit of lead exposed, like the silouhette bullets. Come to think of it, I once loaded some 180g .357 sillohuette bullets that looked just about right, if only they'd had just a tad bit more shoulder. They had an excellent meplat on the front, with a dot of lead exposed, and I guaren-daggum-tee-you that that thing would NOT expand, but imagine the penetration!

A .44 in the same profile, say about 250 g, would be the berries for hunting, as it would always provide through and through penetration on medium game, and who needs expansion? Just gimme an honest .429 ALL the way through, and I'll do the rest!

Would also be neat for target shooting, as SWC are.

So, who makes it? I can't be the ONLY one to think this is cool, and there is surely nothing new under the sun....

Regards,

L.P.
