[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1938803, member: 879"] In all seriousness, I wonder if anyone has ever made bullets from substances heavier than lead. If it were technically feasible, I would love to try bullets with heavier than lead cores, like the alloy that Hevi-Shot is made of. Then you would have a non-toxic alternative to lead with ballistically superior characteristics. But a box of ammo would cost about $180 probably:eek: Oooops, I just remembered that Hevi-Shot is super hard to resist deformation. It would not expand if used in a bullet core, but it wouldn't fragment either. Danged ol' Physics! E always equals mc squared and all ya know. You just can't get ahead of it. [/QUOTE]
