I thought i had a good hunting load in my 450 BM. I am running 1100fps with a 450gr bullet cast with 50%WW/50%Soft +1% sn PC and AC. Yesterday i dug a bullet out of the backstop i shoot into that was at 50 Yards. The backstop is a 20 gallon drum laying horizontally filled with sand and a little top soil. The bullet traveled 24" but it never expanded at all.
Will i have to shoot into water jugs or wet newsprint to see if the bullet will expand?
Would it help. If i left the nose free of PC? Or if i went to an even softer alloy say 1/3 WW 2/3 soft
