I've been fooling around with some forty-five grain bullets I cast a long time ago from an NEI mold . Today I was out enjoying the wood stove in the range house and brought out the 788 and some of these cast loads .
The groups were about what you would expect from a .22 rimfire though the bullets were going a bit faster I think . They were loaded with four point six grains of Universal Clays a Winchester primer and a commercial case . I had tried a similar load using up the last of the AL-8 that I had .
Oddly enough the bullets with the gas checks made a larger group . When the weather gets better I'll try that again . Maybe it was just the wind moving the target frame .
It looks like I'll hafta warm the mold up before spring if I keep throwing these downrange . Well at least I remember the mold being easy to use even if it took forever to get results .[smilie=1:
