You're right of course, capt. I should have said "not generally allowed". Thanks for the clarification.

DigitalDan Campfire Kahuna Joined: May 2004 Posts: 56,172 Likes: 14 In the Swamps	Originally Posted by CrowRifle Please expand on the 2 piece bullet. Advantages? Trying to learn something new. Two piece bullets are swagged together after casting. Generally the nose section is hard alloy and the base is soft or perhaps pure lead. Sometimes the nose section is a bore rider like this one below. Don't recall the precise specs on this one but think it .500" on the nose and .510 on the base. 800 grains by the way. This is done to control upset during obturation. Pictures of the gun follow. False muzzle, barrel is about 2-1/2" in diameter by Moslander. On the 200 yard line. Owner is left handed. I am..........disturbed. Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass. -Twain

Most folks shooting those guns are anal enough to weigh charges, but he was not so inclined. Generally speaking I agree insofar as slug rifles of that caliber at 200 yards probably don't exhibit significant vertical dispersion due to small velocity variations. The image is a little confused by the tool behind it, that being the bullet starter. I am..........disturbed.

A lot of people will argue that they are the most accurate powder drops ever made. If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Self imposed equipment limitations can make the hunt more challenging and therefore more interesting. It isn't just about killing a deer. μολὼν λαβέ
