John, hopefully this thread has opened a few closed minded eyes. Hard Cast bullets NEVER did what some claimed. Those writers either could not handle recoil, or we too lazy to actually test heavy, bonded big bore pistol bullets..it was in today's words Fake News
I'll put my old .50 Alaskan revolver loaded with 525 grain hardcast bullets up to any single-shot in a head-to-head (head busting?), hang on for dear life recoil contest! At less than 4-lbs that SOB is like riding a bull in a rodeo with nothing to hang onto. Hahahahaha
