It has nothing to do with casting but I thought some of you might like to see a pic of my old 1897 and my dogs after a afternoon hunt. The 1897 was made in 1917.

This just brings you to the intro page, and if you are not "friends", you can not view the pictures. I think you need to set access to "Everybody" to be able to share here, and I'm not sure if that will work either, unless people are signed on to Facebook.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
OK I'll try again. Every time I try to download a pic this site says it's to large.

You may need to load them to Photobucket, or this page's image host (see top line of page), to be able to get them small enough.

Image hosting is whats telling me they are to big. I'll keep trying I posted some a few months ago but now I can't get it to work.

Why not set your camera for non-megapixel pictures?

That works. Jr. has the right idea, you should be able to set your camera for a smaller file size.

It's my camera phone. I'll see if my daughter can help me out. Were you able to see the pictures?

Thanks for the pics 161. I have a real soft spot for the 97. Purchased one when I got back from the army in 69. I used it for everything for years including my own cast deer slugs. I still have it, it's a 32" full choke with steel butt plate. I have a pic of my grandfather with his brother from around 1912 taken at the family farm in South Coffeyville, KS. My grandfather is holding a small 22 and his brother has a 97 with 32" barrel. There where a lot of years in the earrly 70s I had my limit of three pheasants by 9:00 o'clock. Sad, Pheasants are headed for extinction in Iowa now.
I measured the choke in this one. It's .685 with a 30 inch barrel.
