    I have the 415 grain that rambo used not HP but the lead is as soft as possible and still cast properly, i am casting a couple of hundred for an order in about a week if you want some.

    @shooternz's cast lead pills are a big hit on the pigs. Poleaxed by 270gr of badass mofo. 1050fps, much better for the ears of shooter and dogs alike. Bullet was the flat nosed version, the HP version arrived in the post yesterday, will get them loaded and try them forthwith.

    .44 Remington Magnum, 7.8gr Trail Boss, 1.610" COAL.

    Ruger 77/44, 13" barrel, DPT suppressed, the world's heaviest ever trigger, which is a good idea considering the application.

    I put a timney sear and spring in mine and it was almost too light for how i use it (rough and ready) so wacked the original spring in with the smooth sear and its great, top knotch trigger now
    they dont advertise them for the 77/44 but they fit and are all the same trigger wise
