I found that straight wheel weights work fantastic. Too hard a bullet, and it does not expand in the barrel to seal against the pressures. I take my bullets, and when they are cast, drop them into water. That gives them a hard skin, with a soft core for expantion.
I killed a fallow deer with one shot from a 44 special single action army at 50  yards, on video, with that combination, and it worked real well. Also took a pheasant from the air,after everone else had missed it, with the same gun on that hunt. 2 shots 2 kills.
