[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4645760, member: 12277"] I decided to go with a cast bullet for my muzzle loader last season. This Lee 310 grain 44 bullet was my choice because of it's shape and weight. That big flat nose (or meplate for bullet casters) transfers energy fast and should drop deer better than the same bullet would if it were a round nose. It also punches a caliber size permanent hole through an animal better. The 310 grain weight assures plenty of penetration on a deer. I'm casting them 50% clip on wheel weights and 50% pure lead so they are soft enough to expand at the lower velocities I'm getting with two 50 grain pellets of 777. I figure velocity is something like 1,600 ft/sec. I didn't get a deer with the ML last year so didn't get to test it out except on paper. Hopefully that'll change in November this year. Of course I'm shooting it inside a sabot without the gas check. :) [/QUOTE]
