The Cast boolitz coming are non-gas check, so low velocities for these rounds till I get my hands on the 180gr gas check boolitz. Yes, 165gr too get started with.

1 too 1.2 ft-per second as they are not keen to hot gas temps. From what I've read so far.

These lead rocks will be up fronted by Red Dot pistol powder with cotton wad filler like the old days.
The cotton is burnt off long before the boolit leaves the barrle.

The filler keeps the powder charge at the heel of the case so long as they stand up right till shooting time.

Cooper free barrle before shooting the leads, and lead free before doing the jackets.
$0.2 cents per boolit.

Non-gas check is good for 2" groups at 50 yards.
Gas checked reach out way past that as they can handle the 2.0 too 2.1 ft-per second if they are high in the hardness category.

Lots too learn in this category.

Don.

PS: some folks harvest game and furry critters with them, my plan is too up my game plan at more iron silhouette targets.

The close stuff getting going as I push these limits.
