First projectile used when the ''gun'' was invented were stones l am told.. Then along comes LEAD.. Worked great for the next 500 years.. Has and does kill anything everything that walks..
Suddenly 40 years ago they stopped killing. Even after DB Wesson killed EVERYTHING in North America with his S&W 357 MAG in 1935.With lead bullets even...60 years prior to that the US Army asked for a bullet capable of penetrating a HORSE @ 100yds and killing an lndian on the other side...45 Colt is born in Colt Model P.. Pure LEAD bullet 250gr conical..Lead kills
just as good now as it ever did

Besides , l still have 4 boxes of 250gr Nosler HG Partition bullets.. They are just too pretty to shoot
