    Home made bullets

    Just got these pics sent to me from a mate I made 9.3 285gr bullets for. He just came back from a hunt and got a very nice Waterbuck bull. 9.3x62 @ 2280 fps. Shot the bull from the front into the chest from 120m and found the bullet in the stomach.

    Shot my 458 Express shooting off hand at 50m open sights. Not my best grouping but not the bullets’ fault. Will take shooting sticks to the range next time. Sticker is 1”
