WOLFY W:Give it a try and do your reseach on the "CAST BOOLETS" site. There is a major wealth of cast bulllet shooting information! You may be suprised what you can do! And dont get scared of leading a bore while testing, it is easier that most people think to get out. I can give you some pointers/ideas on that if you like. Its all about learning. Good luck, and have fun!
GUN TECH:
When Shooting Cast bullets, most firearms have to shoot cast bullets slower (1000-1600fps). Certain combinations work better than others. Micro groove has its challenges, but some shooters I know do it just fine.
If you really do your home work, invest time learning the limits of your gear, and carefully working up loads, you can get some incredible performance out of cast bullets.
My Rem700, Varmint laminate in .308Win can get a 200 grain, Lyman#311299 bullets to shoot near MOA at 200 yards and at 2400fps. (no percievable leading).
Yes I said 2400 fps! It took me nearly 6 months of reading/casting/reloading/testing to find this technique.
I am presently working on making my own Brass Gaschecks out of .010" &.015" Brass shim stock. I am hoping this material will handle the pressures better than copper Gaschecks.
I am still working up in pressure with these gaschecks. You can see my most recent testing post in the "hunting and sporting arms" section of this site. Funn stuff!
Have fun you gunnutz!
