They might do the same with their lead 160gr bullet if asked?
Being a 2-2-X lead mix, it should mushroom..........
if you want a lead bullet.

At under 900fps I don't think it really matters.

Thanks. That sounds a lot closer than what I tested. I guess that's for phase II.

A soft lead bullet would be great because I'm not pushing the velocity. I'll look into it.

Well I guess I'll have to shoot up those 226 Xtreme bullets that I have left. They are great bullets so it's not a problem to me.

UPDATE: I just looked at the GT website and I really like what I see. There is a .38 caliber 165 gr HP SWC that if it could be sized down would be ideal. I could size them myself, but I'm not set up for it.
