Shooting my dads Hawken the other week and I recovered these from the stack of old tires that I now shoot into. These tires pretty much catch every muzzleloader bullet I've shot, especially round balls. I smiled when I saw how nicely those REALs expand at 100 yards with a 80 grain Pyrodex P charge. No sand, just an old empty hollow tire. Notice the deep slash marks on 2 of the bullets? That's from the steel cords in the tire. That's a 10ply truck tire.

This bullet I fired into a 4ply tire and recovered it.
