Hunter4752001. Hi hunter. I wonder if hand gun bullets are cast as hard as rifle bullets. I am not after expansion, just better lethality from a cast bullet. I have had cast bullets put a 44 or 45 calibre hole in and same size exiting. I was hoping to improve on the exit hole. I understand where you are coming from and appreciate your input. In the USA there are ammunition manufacturers that load 45-70 ammo with 400 grn hard cast projectiles with very large metplats and what I have read, they perform very well and are considered a big bear stoppers in Alaska for guides. I will do some work and find out the name of the ammo.

I have used Black Widow cast bullets in the 45-70 and they are a good product, but they are sized to small to work in my rifle with the micro groove barrel. 2 out of 5 keyhole at any velocity.
