Cast Bullet ####

Another no-leading 9.3 rifle today

Headed up to the range today to make a believer out of a new guy using cast bullets. Same 285 gr Northman plain base, cotton patch, and COW filler load as posted before, but shot in a different Husqvarna rifle, an FN98 with 24" barrel.


Fireforming 30-06 brass to 9.3X62, we took three shots at 25, then here are the next six shots at 100 yd. Not too bad for a straight 2 1/2 power scope.





Adjusted scope down to hit three inches high, and the rest were fired at silhouettes out to 300 meters. Average velocity was 2174 fps (about 100 fps less than in the other rifle).

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new cast bullet shooter on board! :)

PS: Fifteen rounds fired and no leading at all. This is the second rifle with the same no-leading results.
 
Should I get a 6 cav. mould to process all of that?
2 cav. is nice but it takes for ever lol.

If I were shooting lots of pistol I'd consider a 6 cavity. Personally a couple hours of casting a specific bullet using a 2 cavity mold yields enough bullets to last a few months, but I'm not a high volume shooter. Also that's only like 1600-2000 1oz slugs :)

f55 Please if you would, explain the method of using paint on the boolits, and how it was applied.

1. Place 50 bullets in tumbler (or a food container)
2. 1 tea spoon of powder.
3. Turn on tumbler (or shake in food container for few min) for 5 min
4. pour the bullets in to a siv to remove excess power.
5. place on parchment paper in a toaster oven (specific for powder coating)
6. bake for 10-15 min, depends on powder.
7. Leave to cool for 30+ min

All done outside, powder used in the ones posted are tgic powder ( i have since switched to tgic free powder)
All powder is bad for you if you inhale the fumes while curing or if its ingested, but tgic powders are supposed to be much worse for you.

The results of shooting these, for me at least are no leading and cleaner barrel.

Ton45, 400 for 10 min.
I haven't shot the 9 mm as I am waiting for sizing die.

The 45 shot as good as jacket bullets.

Very nice Spawn.

This is from my newly acquired Lee 8x56 mold. Mics at a perfect .329. Simple tumble lubed but will try some with enamel coating to compare once I have more than one piece of "test" brass :redface:

Did it come out of the mold and 0.329 or you sized it to that? What's your rifle slug at?
 
Came out of the mold like that. I've no sizer at the moment but plan on getting one as I plan to do some paper patching of smaller caliber bullets and will need to get them to a uniform diameter somehow. My rifle slugged at 329 so maybe a light coat of enamel on the bullets will be a good thing to help make them a little fatter.
 
This is the best shooting cast boolit I have-NOE .269 145Gr .I use it in M41 and m91 Carcanos.
Awsome mold and boolit.

Please tell us about the J-word bullet. It looks like the ones I swage from 40 cal brass and BT_Sniper dies. If you wet tumble them with copper BB's, they come out a copper colour!
