[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2531912, member: 15054"] Camp gun for critters. I would not want to be shot by a 750fps 22 bullet that weighed 36gr Think about a 180 or 230 or 260 gr projectile hitting you at the same speed. that 750fps is like 3X faster than most (older) bows will shoot. For defense against critters etc it does not take much. I tried making hard cast bullets for my 45 work. but it likes a 50/50 mix or a 23 soft 1/3 hard mix. My 357mag at 170gr likes hard cast gas checked at 1376fps for long range stuff. Not worth a hoot up close . You may experiment with bullet hardness and come up with a winning combo. [/QUOTE]
