msrdiver 42 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 So Chilled lead has a lower antimony content. Magnum shot with a higher antimony percentage will have a lighter mass. This is probably why the Remington Field Grade 1 Buck I buy weighs less than what is stated in Lyman's Manual. Remington Field Grade 1 buck: 35.5 grains per pellet. Lyman's manual states 1 Buck with 2% antimony: 40.5 grains per pellet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Exactly!! AND... Magnum shot is therefore harder, so you will get less pellet deformation when fired. This supposely translates into better , more consistent patterns. Then I think of the "Blindside" square shot they came out with and scratch my head... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
