For 1000 fps pure lead, wheel weight all would be fine its only when you start getting up to 1600 plus that you really need to think about special alloys, and beyond that theres gas checks.

When i reload 223 which isnt often now, my go to projectile is the 55 gr hollowpoint gameking, flies like a brick but hangs together and penetrates. 200 yds is its max practical range though plenty...

It was developed in 1936 as a wildcat but not commercialised till the late 60s early 70s so Thar was probably there at the beginning. (-:

Correct, and konevs point about light ones with thin jackets in very fast twists is a good one. At 3200 fps a bullet fired from a 1:7 twist is doing 329,1000 rpm and that will rip a 40 grain varmit...

Ive shot ammo i loaded in the 90s but then i know what was in it. I also regularly shoot mil slurp from the 50s and 60s with no issues apart from the occasional hangfire with some 40s stuff. A bit...

Also zinc melts nearly 100 degrees higher than lead antimong tin mixes so any wheel weights floating on to along with those little clips get binned. There have been attempts to cast zinc bullets...

True but at that short distance parallax and focus problems can turn a 1/4 inch error into 1 inch at 100. A lot of people when zeroing accept maybe 1/2 either side of poi as being ok, thats a max...
