Starting to get the hang of it.

Post by WCF3030 »

There is just something special about casting your own.
Played around with the temp today, while waiting for my temp gage to arrive.
I'm getting a "feel" for the right temp for good rounds.
Going to load these with 25-27gr of Varget. Hope to find a load soon.
It already likes my small game load.

Ditto! If they shoot half as nice as they look, they should be winners! :D

Lyman 311041 mold.

I'll be shooting these in the next few days. Hopefully do a penatration comparison test as well.

BULLETS

Post by HEAD0001 »

Good looking bullets. I do not know what it is, but it is alot more fun when you shoot a deer with a bullet that you made. I would not worry about a penetration test, just shoot your deer and go pick it up. Tom.

I've not doubt they will work. I'm just doing the test for my own amusment. I think they will out penatrate most of the others.

WEIGHT

Post by HEAD0001 »

Did you weigh them. I do. I normally cull about 1/5 of my bullet's because of weight differences. But you can drop them right back into the pot. An electronic scale comes in handy. Tom.

There is something fascinating about a good lookin bullet. If I have to explain it you just don't get it and probably never will. 1886.
