After the success with ranch Dog bullet design noted below, a new cast bullet shooter is looking for a commercial source. ANY IDEAS??
I'll forward any info you guys can provide.
The new boolit shooter's note:
Paul,
I've done some shooting with the bullets you sent. My first three shots with the 165 Ranch Dog bullet over 27.0 grains of Reloder 7 were touching at 50 yards. I was shooting my scope-sighted (1-3X20 Weaver) 336 from a rest. I will mostly shoot cast loads with my other 336 which has a Skinner peep on it, but wanted to use the scope to reduce human aiming error as much as possible when comparing different loads. These are amazing bullets. Is there a commercial source for them? I have some 170 grain flat-nosed gas checked True Shot bullets from Oregon Trail. They are somewhat similar and may turn out to be okay, but the Ranch Dog bullets you cast so far are the best ones I've seen. And no leading.
Thanks again!
John
