Cast Lead: The World's Deadliest Ammo?

[@budkelly2300]

The legendary handgun hunter, Elmer Keith, found by experience that hard cast bullets are most effective on big game. He had many years of practical experience and knew that they did the job.

[@CharitoBaker]

Keith 429421 ,44 at 267grains in front of 18 grains of 2400 lit off by CCI 350 primer. Took my first elk with one of them.

[@Vampirization]

I love the fact that you guys not just rely on ballistics gel, but actually use something that simulates a real body. Really, really nice!

[@pollyarcher2590]

Oh, hold on, are you telling me that I've been strutting around wearing layers of denim and I was as vulnerable as everyone else?

[@andreahighsides7756]

Polly Archer the fbi standard comes from a 9mm fired in the 1987 miami shooting hitting the heart of a perp but just bouncing off and not penetrating. Before reaching the heart it went through the perpatrators denim jacket, into his arm, back through two more layers of denim, and then into his torso and right up to his heart, but again not having velocity to penetrate it. So in that shootout the denim jacket kept the perpetrator alive for a few more minutes during which he killed several fbi agents

[@richardtravalini6731]

You failed to mention that the lead has to be hard enough to withstand velocities over 1100 fps. When I was young and stupid (over 55 years ago) I started to reload. I reloaded some 38 Special wadcutter bullets that might have been cast or swedged. Swedged bullets are much softer than hard cast. After firing one cylinder, I noticed that the bullets were key-holing. Upon inspecting the barrel, I noticed that the lands and grooves were GONE! Actually, they were still there but because I loaded the rounds faster than 1100 fps, the bullets just skid across the lands and grooves and filled them with lead. A serious lesson was learned.

[@howardkahn4330]

[@paststeve1]

Hey Gentlemen, I first started watching you all when I needed some tips on restoring my newly purchased Mosin 91/30. You guys ALWAYS teach me something new and keep me laughing in the process! Thanks for another fun day in class. Grace & Peace

[@georgeof78]

those 340 grain hard cast bullets are freaking runaway freight trains especially at +p+ pressures. I was shooting some jugs full of water with different bullets with my Ruger Redhawk and the JSP and HP were impressive as they exploded the jugs. The hard cast 340 gr. just punched a hole through the jug but left a huge hole in the ground behind the jug. Awesome videos like always.

[@ibbylancaster8981]

I can remember as a kid,( in the 70’s) my dad was always jumping out of the truck at intersections picking up tire weights to melt them down and cast bullets for the .44 and .38. The .44 was always my favorite (original Ruger super Blackhawk) because the mold was a conical armor piercing one and he loaded a bit hot but the fun levels were off the charts. Cool video.

[@georgezink8256]

I’ve cast thousands in 357mag 44 mag 45/70 and in pa.where I lived I had Honor of Guys from several gun clubs taught me tons of reloading and casting with linotype or printers lead, it hardens lead for serious fps in all calibers thanks for teaching youngens some good info

[@slowpokebr549]

When my wifes mother died I helped clean out her home. Her deceased husband had been a police officer for many years. His reloading bench was like a time capsule from 1968. He had hundreds of cast bullets, mostly in .38. His go to round seemed to be semi wad cutter hollow points. We still have his J frame back up gun. It was loaded with them when we found it. I also found several boxes of handloaded wadcutters, about half of which were turned around backwards in the cases. Thats an old school hollow point for ya....

[@slick66]

It's not uncommon. Reversing the wadcutter was something a lot of backup guns were loaded with ;)

[@tccoup355]

semi wadcutter turned backwards.

[@828enigma6]

Actually work quite well if not driven too fast. At 38 Spl velocities, it expands well and has decent penetration. At 357 Mag velocities, they are virtually explosive and have very poor penetration. Not a bad choice, loaded near max for 38 Spl, especially in a snub nose.

[@johnhenry9162]

@ Stoned................you're wrong. It's quite common to reverse a hollow base wadcutter and load it base out for a large hollowpoint. Quit trying to play expert when you clearly are wet behind the ears and in no way an expert.

[@meeshaka6016]

Some 38 cal wad cutters had hollow bases to increase the bearing surface of the bullet. Some had an identical top and bottom. So the people talking about turning them upside down are talking about the hollow base ones.

[@duanehawks9405]

By far this is the best video I have seen in a while! You guys rock, I love the fact that your content is unique, haven't seen too much on this. Keep these ballistic vids coming, stay safe stay healthy, wish you all the best!

[@mikedoubleohdoubleu2135]

Very well done. Excellent testing. Watching you from the beginning Mosin Nagant days til' now, it's a relief to see this level of analysis and testing being done opposed to what everyone else is doing. It's lifestyle and passion opposed to attempting a half assed video to add to what we've already seen. Fantastic!

[@schiz0phren1c]

Fantastic shooting and scary impacts from those "old" cast rounds! Imagine the (final) surprise of someone underestimating them in a home/self defense situation? you'd be cleaning bits of intruder out of your walls for days!

[@Mike-xi4zt]

The accuracy difference between a semi wadcutter cast and a jacketed hollow point or Flat Point would be interesting. Plus I would have like to seen if there was a difference of performance between jacketed and the cast lead bullets in the ballistic gel.

[@markmeador1137]

On lower velocity bullets like 38 special you can use soft cast. You get leading if you go faster than 900 fps. I use hard cast wad cutters in my j- frame even though I’m only doing 750 to 800. No problems with penetration even with a 380. I love these videos, because of my age I can no longer take the recoil from my old Colt Python with +p loads. Keep up the good work

[@xx_booqueefius_xx6581]

depleted uranium rounds are the deadliest ammo.

[@fokjohnpainkiller]

MEME STAR If you're in a position where their use is needed, radiation is the least of your concerns

[@fokjohnpainkiller]

***** There is a counter argument though. Likelihood of engagement versus the time spend with those rounds equipped. And if they're not equipped and ready to go, what's the point of having then stored since they won't be used when needed most.

[@fokjohnpainkiller]

***** There's nothing better than depleted uranium for projectiles. I don't think you can buy any for rifles though. There mustn't exist any ammo for handheld weaponry for a multitude of reasons including legal, environmental and security ones. Such ammo is used in cannons, 30mm and above I'd imagine

[@cunt5885]

[@willie_brydon]

Eric often wears military jackets from different countries in videos

[@showgunnw]

He has the left patch of HV-02 (Oslo og Akershus) and seeing that it is the new patch i would guess the jacket is surplus but the patches are probably sent/traded to him. i'm originally from norway, but moved to the US last year and a lot of american veterans/soldiers trade patches with soldiers overseas and on the internet especially TMBN patches :)

[@Rakadis]

You can see around 6:50 that the patch is in fact a HV-09 patch (Bergenhus)

[@mikemcnamee6030]

Nothing more satisfying than digging your 715gr .500 slugs out of the berm, chucking them back in the lead pot and casting a new bullet out of the old one. Cast and powder coated bullets are also about 7% faster than their jacketed counterparts given the same powder, charge and bullet seating depth.

Back in the day, in England, a lot of us used “Linotype” hard cast lead for performance rounds in .45ACP, 9mm and .38 Special (+ others). Linotype was used in newspaper printing and could cast quite fine detail. Used them in UKPSA comps for Major rounds. Best, Pete.

Trials went well and it is allowed there.

[@jakejames5150]

Not that it matters now 5 years later but just thought I should throw it out there that both underwood and buffalo bore recommend that the 340 grain +p+ loads are not fired out of a smith model 29 due to their much weaker actions compared to a Ruger Redhawk, super Redhawk, black hawk, dan Wesson m44, etc.. not hating on the 29 I have two vintage 29-2s that I love. Just warning anyone watching that both of these ammo manufactures say that the 340 grain +p+ hard cast is technically not safe in the smith model 29/629. Stay safe, shoot on.

[@desertfox2020]

Are you aware that those 340 gr Underwood loads are way over max for that Model 29? I wouldn't want you to loosen up or wear out a nice handgun. For that matter they may not be safe in the Henry either. Great video otherwise.

[@elijahhughes6455]

I would prefer a match lock over a flintlock because it has almost 100 percent chance of firing unlike a flintlock

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

That hard cast lead 44 mag bullet would make a great brush round. When I was a kid my Father and I would go to the tire shop and pick up all the old tire weights we could get and that is what we would cast our bullets with. They made great bullets. We used them for shooting targets and for hunting. We would buy some Speer bullets every once in a while for the large calibers for deer hunting but used the casts for target shooting still. You can run the in the Garand or the M1 carbine fine also. They make great slugs also.

[@BFerry10]

It would be nice to do a side by side comparison of the heavy hard cast loads with the Underwood Extreme Penetrator ammo. I'm wondering how the wound channel and penetration would compare.

[@billblanchard7844]

Thanks for all the effort you went to (making the ballistics gel/giving us the speeds/using various shooting platforms). I especially appreciate your revisiting what some people consider an 'un-sexy' bullet--high end hardened lead, with gas-checks. Modern enough for me!

I've currently got fmj flat nosed in 240 grain but seriously thinking of using this load while hiking the back country. Of course bear bones are tougher than the ribs you put up but considering everything else it went through, it should pen even large black bears (what I may encounter) no problem. Thank you.

Why throw away that ballistic gel dummy? Why not melt it down, skim all the crap out of it, and recast it into a block for future use?

[@captainpatchwork8107]

Questionable quality, which makes any results gained from testing with it unreliable.

[@falconuruguay4588]

+Captain Patchwork As long as you are not adding anything which would change the properties of the gel, or mixing different batches of gel together, it should not be an issue. It just seems incredibly wasteful to throw away the ballistics gelatin, just because it has some particulate in it, and I'm sure that reusing the blocks over and over again during shoots would affect the ballistics gelatin more than melting it down and re-pouring it into blocks.

[@jameswarner7435]

That is one damn good idea, if it works. That ballistics gel is NOT cheap. With ease, you could skim, screen, and filter out almost all impurities when its melted. I wonder if it has to reach a specific temperature to set up with the same/correct firmness again? As long as it gels up at all, even if it isn't perfect quality, you would have a very valuable target. Might lose a little bit each usage, from the bullet damage, but why not recycle the gel into another awesomely dynamic target block! I bet you could make a machine that automatically melted down and reset your gel blocks.

[@falconuruguay4588]

+James Warner As long as you keep the gel under 250 degrees Fahrenheit, it should melt with ease, but it will take some time to get it fully melted. All you would have to do is cut the main block into smaller chunks, place it in a large stainless steel container like a big cooking pan, and set it in the oven at about 200 to 220 degrees, and just let it all sit in there until it fully melts, all the particulate would sink to the bottom, then all that would be left is once all the bubbles are gone, and it is fully melted, you could leave it in the container you are melting it in, let it cool completely, then once it is unmolded, take a piece of wire and just cut off the bottom part that contains all the particulate.

[@mikemcnamee6030]

Eric is a busy man, it probably does not make financial sense for him to spend the time cleaning up and recasting the gel block. Probably easier for him to just huck it in the trash and wait for a sponsor to donate another block to the channel.

Had a moose charge & emptied my 44 redhawk loaded w 320 gr WFN hardcasts. All 5 went through the sternam, 4 through the heart & with the last round rolled off the snowmachine as it was coming down on me & blew threw both shoulders which knocked the moose over but even then it stumbled around 2 sleds & got back on the trail & collapsed. Found all 5 slugs just under the rear flank fur. 8 feet of penetration that did NOT knock the small moose down. The 6th through the shoulders shattered both shoulder joints to toothpicks & passed completely through. Use a 420 gr WFN Hard cast in my 45/70 @ 2100 FPS & it Thumps BIG bears HARD! DRILLED a 10 ft charging black bear @ 100 yards that hit him square in the chest & it just folded & slid to a stop. Found that slug at its rear flank just under the fur. Any bear shot from the side is also knocked over but ALL those 45/70 slugs just blow straight on through. As far as handguns go, retired the 44 & upgraded to the 454 Casull.

I agree cast bullets are viable but you don’t want hard cast as your defense choice. Maybe for use on coyotes and unwanted feral critters but you need expansion to limit risk of over penetration. I like a soft SWC or TC bullet moving fast enough to deform.

After trying various jacketed bullets in my 30-30 I eventually switched to a gas checked hard cast 180 gr FP bullet which I have used for the last 16 yrs for bushpig and warthog. At bushveld / woodland distances and weight class of game a 30-30 is used for, the cast bullets out perform any jacketed soft points in terms of penetration, reliability and and reduced meat damage. At 1900 ft/s they deliver the same penetration as a 270 gr Barnes X from my 375 H&H mag,

[@Killerpalme]

[@Thegauntlet04]

[@ZaJaClt]

[@Killerpalme]

He's preventing childhood diabetes, one round at a time.

But your videos are awesome and I'm always waiting for ur new ones to be posted. Sry if I sounded like a troll, but the thought always entered my mind when you guys do those certain tests. N e ways keep making ur videos! They're great!

So much uptalk, it's crazy? It's like every sentence is a question?

Underwood seems to have matched Buffalo Bore's 340 gr +p+ load, as they are virtually identical ballistically. And this is directly from Buffalo Bore's website, "We get hundreds of emails asking if this load can be fired in S&W revolvers or some firearm other than what is in the above list. The answer is NO. The above list is all inclusive."

[@redtsun67]

What a waste. There are starving children in Africa who could have eaten those bullets.

That .44mag shot was pretty impressive. I shoot hardcast .45-70 Gubb'mint through my Savage 1865 lever-action; using full house loads from DoubleTap or Buffalo Bore and that thing is a thumper. With proper placement (always top priority), even big game drop like groundhogs.

[@nyctreeman]

+P+ is a hot fucken load! ... but the Model 29 should handle that with no problems.

[@stwhite5135]

Thank you for the video. To shoot a lot I use cast bullets. This shows me that a cast bullet shooting slower than 1000 fps is a good defensive load.

[@walkingawayman3146]

i wouldn't think twice about cast projectiles for ether target, defense or hunting. i cast my own lead bullets and i buy them as well, it is a great hobby and has always had good results for me. this is a really good way to stock bulk ammo for prepping and then you don't have to use up all your more expensive jacketed stuff.

[@minigpracing3068]

Five years is pretty long, but there are now many airguns that use cast bullets, 357, 45, 50, 72 from manufacturers like Crosman/Benjamin, AEA, Umarex, Airforce, and some smaller brands like Bushbuck. Just something to consider if you do a cast bullet update.

[@martingdunn]

We need the BHN for the 45 hollow points please. That's a real killer!

[@extremeteatime8663]

Hickock 45 must be jealous of how many 2 litres were killed in this video

[@jeramyw]

.72 caliber you say? Can it take a 12 gauge foster slug?

[@regsparkes6507]

Well, Chad and I were both wrong,..I said 5 just as you started to set this up. Either way, I would not want to be on the receiving end of that Mare's leg Henry! I love these video's, Eric. You actually see something being proved. Good stuff !
