Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Lyman 330gr Hollowpoint mold

I have been shooting this bullet for years in my various Marlin 45-70's with Deep Cut Rifling.. I have cast it of scrap WW. BHN 11.5. Up to about 1500fps it does great. It will expand on game some. Has been very effective on deer. Consider about 150yds as max range due to trajectory. Also have made paper patch bullets with it by wrapping in 9lb onion skin paper. Need to note Ruger No 1's tend to have a shallow rifling. May need to have a little harder bullet in it for best accuracy. Dropping the hot bullet right from the mold into a bucket of cold water will quench it & make it considerably harder. Just a thought.
