So want to brag about your cast bullet groups in your firearms?
Here it is and lets see some pictures.

I'll start
30-06 100yds
225gr cast bullet


Ruger 77 in 44mag
50yds 311gr Hollow point


Marlin XL7 35 whelen
280gr bullet 100yds


44mag Ruger SRH
40 yds 6 shots
226gr bullet


44mag ruger SRH
100yds

Them cast boolits won't shoot accurately and will lead the hell out of your barrel. You shouldn't use them. Send all of your alloy to me and I'll get rid of that toxicc asset for you.

yea, you'd still be amazed what I hear in that respect.

I had a guy at the hunt club tell me I can't shoot cast lead out of my rifle at 2400fps without having to 'scrub' the barrel afterwards.

I offered to let him shoot my gun but on the condition he had to shoot it 50 times and then check for leading. He declined. I suppose he didn't want to go through 50rnds of kick you on your butt ammo out of my 7lb 35 whelen with full house loads.

Mosin M44 50 yds. Lee .312 TL

Sav. 30-30 Pump Lee 170 gr. RNFP.

Sav. 99 300 Sav. Lee .312 160 gr. TL sized .311

Yugo M59/66A1 SKS Lee .312 TL

Wished I'd kept my best targets, I'm pretty sure they were all s-canned.

My Ruger #3 with 30 grains of IMR-4198 under a 405 grain cast boolit 3 shots at 100 yards.

404 Jeffery. 350gn GC at 1900fps 63gn H4350c - Adi 2209
55yds - aperture sights 3 shots


404 Jeffery. 350gn GC at 2430fps 87gn H4350 - Adi 2209
55yds - aperture sights 5 shots



7x57 Mauser. 160gn softnosed GC at 2415fps 39gn H4350 - Adi 2209. 1st at 143yds and the last at 186yds - aperture sights.







Von Gruff.

Great shooting Von Gruff!

An older target. The 429421 & 2400 powder. 4 shots at 'bout a 160 yards.

A 570 grain round ball out of a fully rifled 12 bore.



And a 730 grain CBE paradox style bullet, same gun.

Beautiful rifle. Have you tried it on meat yet?

Von Gruff.

Unfortunately not yet... but the day is getting closer.

RNGC, I want to sand bag it tomorrow if the powers to be will leave me alone. Reformed 8mm Remintons, necked up to 9.3 first, then down to 9mm. If I dont do this the have to small of a shoulder to form correctly. I am using 4197 Brigadier powder, 29.0 grs. it likes it. If I push it to fast, it shoots high. Sized to .359! Around 1700 fps.

Nice shooting.

MON (minute of neck) at 100yds 1899 Savage carbine 30-30 150gr Loverin 311466

Love to see those groups centred on hair. That's the real deal!

MON, I love it and it leaves paper accuracy for dead.

This is the result of one of my soft lead 370gn bullets at 1400fps passing through a goat.


We had got onto a mob of goats and got quite a few.The 404 accounted for its share and the cast bullet was very effective.



Von Gruff.

First target is the RD TLC 323-170 .32 Win Special 180gr sized lubed and checked. 16.0gr Alliant 2400 @ 1744fps. Second target is the RCBS 07-170 .32 Win Special 180gr sized lubed and checked. 38.0gr Hodgon LVR @ 2300fps. RD bullet lubed with Lee Liquid Alox and the RCBS bullet lubed with Javelina Alox stick lube. RD bullet @ .3234" and the RCBS bullet @ .3225". Both groups shot from my 1958 vintage Marlin 336SC
with ballard type rifling.

Dinkin' along & workin' up loads with bum bullets. 50 yards, Marlin 94, .25-20 vintage pre '35. Lyman 257312





Hopefully, new bullets will work mo' betta. Ideal 257383 IIRC.

Good shooting, Dan. I mis-read your opening sentence to say "drinkin' along" , ha ha!

Love that 25-20 !! My first rifle was a Marlin 25-20 )) Worked in the hay fields and picked peas most of the summer to buy it. Cost $25 then. My Dad told me I had something to big for squirrels and too little for deer! He was right about the squirrels !!! I never got the chance at a deer with it. Wished I still had it-----thanks for the memory))))
