Hi guys,,, This is my first post here but I am known by some I have seen here from Cast Boolits.com. 303guy being a buddy from that site.
I just completed my redo of a #4Mk1 Sporter I picked up at a local gunshop.
I have Cast boolits from Lyman mould 314299 from Wheel Weights with 2% tin added. Am in the process of loading them as we speak.
I have been shooting 311299 in my .308's, .30-06 Springfields, and Garands for many years with no barrel wear visible. They are lubricated and lead is much softer than any jacketed bullet so there isn't going to be any barrel wear. My lead contains no amount of impurities.
I am also looking for some Hornaday 174 gr RNSP's and Woodleigh 215 gr RNSP's as well, for hunting loads.
The Cast Boolits will be used for all shooting other than hunting and I expect great accuracy from this gun.
The only real difference between this gun and my others which exhibit excellent accuracy is the fact that this one spins the Boolit in the opposite direction. IE Left Hand twist.
Look forward to shooting this one a lot.
Randy
