Dang Bramble, I have been "out of the loop" for 8 years now. However I think we could find someone around that would be able to get some bullets to you. You obviously load your own, so ammo would not be much of a problem.

I understand Cast Performance is all but defunct now ( a sad fact that greaves me extremely) so you can't get new ones from them, but we made them by the millions so I am sure there must be a few left here and there.

Tell me the details on the 2 lost animals. It's surprising to me that they got away (unless the hits were poor. If hits are poorly placed anything short of a LAAW rocket is going to be less effective then a good hit with about anything else.) If they got away obviously you can't say for sure what happened, but maybe you saw the hits and the angles of the bodies at the time of those hits?

Reflex264, do you have any bullets you could donate? I recommend at least 440 grains and not more then 540. No spitzers either. Wide Flat Nose bullets would be the key here. We used to load 440 grain bullets at 1950FPS and many customers killed buffalo (lots of them) and at least 2 elephant I know of with those bullets. They were the most popular sellers, but the heavier ones might have actually been better.

Bramble, let me ask around a bit and see what I can come up with.
E-mail me at szihn@wyoming.com and I will do what I can. No promises, because I can't say if I will find any or not, but I will give it an honest try.

Steve
