    I got all keen reading this so brought some cast bullets from Robert and loaded them up (8.5gr Trail Boss). Was originally intending to smoke a goat just to test terminal performance but opportunities didn't line up. Instead headed to a DOC block th is morning, walked in in the dark and daylight saw me stalking a likely area. Got onto a young red spiker at about 40m, body shot (read: a bit far back) and the moose was down within about 10 m, finishing shot to the swede from 4m and it was all over.
    Overall very happy with the cast projectiles, given a sensible range and shot placement they are good to go. Well mushroomed projectile, will upload pic tomorrow.
