I had no intentions whatsoever of considering any jacketed projectiles for its use, period. Then on the AK adventure the guide “requested” no cast bullets for primary handgun hunting uses! Pooh! Seems he had a simple bad experience and lost game. He’s a knowledgeable hunter and firearms enthusiast, I didn’t like it much but respected his position. Not that big of a deal actually! Barnes still makes a 300 gr. JSP for the .50-95 WCF Express, .510 cal. And it worked fantastic. I could scream it out of a 6” revolver over 1600 fps! That overshot my sight heights so I backed it down to 1300-1350 fps. I found others too that make custom jacketed bullets for about anything you’d want. HAWK is another specialty outfit using pure copper and lead materials. They are a bit gummy but golly do they hold together and expand! With goals and some ingenuity about anything is possible these days. It’s just a matter if you wish to expend that much energy in persuit.
