Miller punch weight

Found these last night while on a tangent

Tungsten almost perfect ready to go 1.5oz bipoint.

Tungsten is denser than lead so less air resistance for long distance

And in a hunting scenario its denser and harder than lead so likely more penetration.

Shame about the hole in it but just maybe it whistles.

Think I'll order one next week if I'm still feeling it.

The hole is no problem, a little epoxy can fix that pretty easily. Good find.

I think I'll end up getting one just to try. But not sure what I'll end up doing with it .
Will I throw it into oblivion never to be found again just to see it sore.
Save it for that one dream hunting shot where everything is right.
Test its strength against the stiffest of targets and see its effects .

At $11 a shot it might just sit in my sling bag.

i would buy it to test against hard surfaces and then have it for display. tungsten price goes up  Wink lol

although i've never hunted , i believe a stone would be  enough , from history sling doesn't seem to kill with penetration
