A little while back I was asking about the old hornady half jackets and a possible source. My father as tried many projectiles over the last 45 years and always favoured the half jacket in his 45-70. Now in his mid 70's he has had to move to lighter loads (and projectiles) so I was thrilled when I came in contact with member "phishroy". He not only agreed to the challenge but was able to make some lighter bullets for my dad.

They arrived a day or two ago and I am delighted with them. Packaged well, and beautifully made. If you are wanting some 458 projectiles that you just can't find, I highly recommend contacting the bullet wizard Roy.

The two different weights I bought for my father to try:

These are 300gr on the right side, and experimental 250gr on the left. Roy wasn't sure how the 250's would work, but I pressured him into making me a batch to try. I believe these are the first batch of half jackets he has made, he usually makes them with a tall/normal jacket if that's more your cup of tea.
