[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2917220, member: 15054"] I have a CVA Bobcat I paid 55 bucks for new at wally-world Punches you right in the cheek when you shoot it. I drilled and tapped it myself for scope mounts. Kicked to hard and scopes would loose their guts. I gave up and went back to iron sights. Here it is with scope. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i263.photobucket.com_albums_ii146_6jeffswish_goodiebox005.jpg[/IMG] Here is the mold I made to mimic the Power Belt 295gr bullet. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i263.photobucket.com_albums_ii146_6jeffswish_insertmold001.jpg[/IMG] Here is the bullet of mine on the left and one fired and mushroomed out in front of it . My alloy is a bit harder. but still mushes a bit. The middle one is a Power Belt with a lead tip inserted into the Hollow Point. Keeps more retained weight when passing through than the regular Hollow Point. Which the regular when pushed fast will fragment .. the insert in the tip eliminates that. Notice the lead tips next to my mold. Yes I cast the tips also. I made these tips years ago as a friend that tests ammo and tested Powerbelts many years ago for the company was fragmenting them when pushed fast.. he made tips and it solved the issue. Shortly after that The bullets were now offered in tipped versions with the green plastic tip insert. Cool stuff. I shoot them with 90gr Pyrodex.. that seems to be the very top end in the 295gr HP for half way holding together. And it is very accurate in my gun.. that is very important, as we know.
