·I believe I brought up this topic at another handgun related site, but can't remember. Anyways, the perfect HD bullet is a bullet that expands a lot for maximum transfer of energy with a reduced chance of over penetration, right? Well, I think pure lead bullets would bo that quite well. When I used to own my blackpowder revolver I did an experiment with pure lead balls and balls casted from 50/50 solder. I had a bunch of pieces of sheet metal. Don't remember the thickness. Think it was 10 gauge mild steel. Anyways, I set them up like a foot away from eachother and shot them from like 5 feet away. The alloy ball penetrated more than the pure lead, but the lead ball was almost completly flat when I recovered it. It was well over an inch in diameter. The alloy ball barly expanded.
So, do you all think pure lead is a good choice? I could only imagine how much a pure lead 12 gauge slug would expand. :twisted:
