Been casting for air rifles . Have had good results with a 105 S/W and a 110 W/C out to 50 yards at 800 - 1100 fps . I have seen the 65 and 75 grain W/C molds . Has any one had any accuracy with these bullets at this distance out of a hand gun or rifle ? And if so what size groups did you have ? Marvin

The 75 gr WC shoots well at 38 S vols. Good savings on both lead and powder.:coffee: One seated on top of another for a total of 150 gr. over about 3-4 grains of unique is also interesting, and both will print on target at 15 yds.

Someone gave me some 70 grain Lee flat wadcutter bullets from a group buy in.358 and I shot them out of my Ransom rest at 50 yards and was shocked at how accurate they were. They look wider than they are long. I have other bullets that are more accurate but I really thought that I would be lucky to get 10 or 12 inches at 50 and got about 4-1/2 from what I can remember and the gun was a 14-2 Smith. My best bullet accuracy including HBWC's has been the RCBS 150 first and Lyman 358477 second and they will both shoot about 2 inches 10 shots at 50 yards in this gun. -- Bill --
