[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2112220, member: 15054"] I have played with the soft hard thing gas checked no gas checks. I do not need expansion to kill a critter ....i have found this out with the many deer i have shot with tiny holes in and out, and big holes in and out...Some critters just do not know they are dead yet... So most important thing for my bullet to do is be accurate... So i can shoot said beast in the neck. many other good places to hit them also. Now on to the checks and no fouling..Fooey....If the lead is too soft for the velocity it will foul..If the bullet is sized too small it will foul no matter what you do to it... Iin my muzzle loaders cut a round disc of thick belt leather to install between my powder and my lead bullet or patched round ball....Not for a leading issue but i do this because i discovered my groups shrank with the leather wads...At 40 yards with a round ball it cut my groups in 1/2. Paco had great ideas and even these will probably work in certain guns. But do not count on them working in all guns at all velocities.. Best way to do know is to try for yourself. [/QUOTE]
