    How rough is too rough?

    Dinc. I've been using wheel weights. Haven't played with the alloy any. I was hoping that shooting subsonic it wouldn't need to be too hard, but I may need to try with some harder alloy. The rage on cast boolits is to use powder coating, I think I'll try that next, then play with the alloy...

    How rough is too rough?

    Sounds like homebrew fire lapping.... I like it!

    How rough is too rough?

    The leading is quite remarkable. In less than 20 rounds the accuracy goes from fair to bullets hitting the target sideways. I'm sure I don't know the "art of the cast bullet" but at this low velocity I don't think there should be this much leading. I'm going to try powder coating, hopefully...

    221 fireball in a short barrel

    I do have a CZ in 22 hornet that I do shoot quite a bit. Very fun! Got to take it pdog hunting one year and it worked great to about 250 yards. Shot a coyote at 200 yards and dropped it (it was a small one if I remember correctly). It now has a 16.5" 1:8 twist barrel that I shoot 70 grain...

    221 fireball in a short barrel

    I have a 20" contender barrel in 221. It shot real well but the extractor didn't work worth a flipso it fell into disuse. Nice caliber, cheaper to load for (I guess), less noise/recoil, don't give up a whole lot with a short barrel. I've often longed for one in a 16" AR. A 20 vartarg would...

    anybody have experience with a big bore AR?

    I've got a 450 bushmaster, it's a carbine. I really wish it was so easy (inexpensive) to get a bolt gun to shot like it does. I actually think it is the most accurate gun I own. It will flatten most anything you shoot with it. I've thought about building a form 1 can for it, but doubt ill...

    Rifle Scopes is there a 300 blk scope yet?

    I really like my 1-6 SWFA. Not a 300 blackout specific scope, but it really works good

    remington sps tactical sudden overpressure symptoms

    Could loctite have gotten in your chamber while you were fiddling with the scope mount? This happened to a friend of mine who used to much loctite and it ran down into the chamber

    how to "tame" the recoil on a 300 win mag?

    Get a good can! Makes a 300 WM almost fun

    Subsonic 300 win mag load??

    The long 208 may not be stable in a 10" twist at subsonic velocity. I think a 150 grain bullet might be a good place to start with trailboss. Good luck

    How rough is too rough?

    I don't think gas checks and suppressor a mix. Also it's my understanding that they aren't needed for subsonic velocities. I plan toshot a full hundred rounds of jacketed bullets before i get serious with the cast and see where i am then (might rebarrel it to 223 who knows). It seems that the...

    How rough is too rough?

    It can be pretty slow at work sometimes so ill keep trying the cast. I know it sure is easy to get some cheap pistol bullets for plinking. I tried this gun with a case full of trail boss (6.0 gr) and a Sierra 100 gr HP. Holy smoke that thing was quiet! This rifle is worth it for that one load

    How rough is too rough?

    Well I put a few rounds through during sight in this evening, five for sight in and then a five shot group. All with Remington factory 220 SMK subs (that puts me down to my last two boxes). It shot plenty good for leaning out my truck window, not exactly a steady rest. I'm excited to try this...

    How rough is too rough?

    I just picked up a Rem 700 SPS in 300 blackout. I'm looking to use it as a plinking/practice gun, maybe some deer hunting. As such I was planning on shooting a lot of cast bullets, but now I'm not sure that will work. The bore on this gun is really rough. You can easily see the chatter marks...

    .223 for vetenary medicine

    Well as a veterinarian I guess I'll chime in with my 5 cents (hey if I were a real doctor I could charge even more!). I pretty much always have two guns in my truck; an AR 15 in 223 and a Ruger Alaskan that I shot heavy 45 LC's from (454 Casull is a little too rough). I don't consider either...

    Anyone here cast lead?

    I've started casting recently too. The noe 230 grain small cavity 45 cal hollow point seems to work well so far in my 45 acp/LC. With no sizing. I've only pan lubed so far (haven't had time to do thousands!) and works okay but is slow. I kind of worry about gas checks coming off in a...
