Commercial Cast Boolits

[Johnw...ski]

Last week I recieved some commercially cast boolits from Glenhills Cast Bullets.
I ordered 200 each of their 425 gr. .459 gas checked and 245 gr. 245 gr. gas checked boolits. I just got around to measuring them.

I weighed a random sample of 20 boolits from each caliber.

The .45's weighed in at 447 gr., 15 of them were + or - .2 gr.
4 + or - .4 gr.
1 + or - .6 gr.
diameter was .0002 under .459

The .35's weighed in at 246 gr. 14 of them were + or - .2 gr.
5 + or - .4 gr.
1 + or - .6 gr.
diameter was .0002 under .359

What nice boolits, very consistant weights and they are offered in a variety of sized diameters at a very reasonable price.

I may just put away my molds.

Hi Dean,
I found them on Gunbroker and when I looked for them on the internet it took me to one of their gunbroker listings.
Here's their e-mail:

I've had very good luck with commercial cast bullets from both Dillons and Leadheads. Leadhead's bullets are almost too pretty to shoot.

Ditto on Vern's bullets. I shoot a couple of his bullets and they are very, very good! I think his alloy is something like 12-13 BHN. So for low to mid pressure shooting they are excellent. One I shoot almost exclusively in one of my trapdoors is his .459 GC 425 gr. Scary accurate out of the old war horse.
