Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR 45 cal Gould bullet.

Ran the first batch of the Gould bullet yesterday at 30:1 not exactly happy with the results.One half of the Lyman mold cavity is rough leaving ridges even ran a small test batch at 20:1 thinking they might fill out better but no such luck.My original guessed weight was approaching 350 grs but they drop a constant 343 grs and mic .4575

Encountered this before, usually some good old tooth paste via cotton swab and elbow grease takes care of bizz.

Normally run all my BPCR bullets at 650-675 degrees but this HP needs extra heat and seems to want to behave around 720 without frosting..won't scrap these but use them for some of Greg's "screamers" later..
