I have an Old Ruger 44 mag carbine I got for $180 blow up and peel back the muzzle like a banana.
I shot 300 gr cast bullets and it left Lead fouling in the bore. Then I shot 240 gr JHP and it blew up.
There are no replacement barrels, because this happens often, so the replacement barrel needed to have a gas hole drilled and a gas fitting welded on, etc. A real hassle.
That was the end of cast bullets and the 44 mag for me.
Hank Williams Jr. shot a bear with 44 mag JHP and it then attacked his dog. So he converted to cast bullets.
We all have little anecdotes that cause us to change direction.

Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?
