My first post here and you will see rather soon I am a noobie at the cast scene.
I have cast some for my Makarov pistol and they have been great.
I want to hunt with my own cast "boolits" this fall. My rifles will be a Winchester 100 semi in .308 win., Remington 700 in 30/06 and a Savage bolt action 30/30.
My only mold: Lee C312-155-2R
only sizer Lee .309
Lube Alox liquid
gas checks Hornady 30cal.
melter Lee 10# electric
wheel weights and pure lead on hand
I have some experience in handloading with jacketed only in rifles but none with cast in rifles only the Makarov 95 grain Lee as stated above.
The season starts in Mid-November so I would like to get started towards working an acceptable hunting round for up to 150 yards max.
Any suggestions as to load, technique or just advice/pointers will be appreciated. Chig
I can change the Win 100 to a Win 88 real easy if that helps.
