Another non-leaded barrel!
Headed up to the range today to make a believer out of a new guy using cast bullets. Same 285 gr Northman plain base, cotton patch, and COW filler load as posted before, but shot in a different Husqvarna rifle, an FN98 with 24" barrel.
Fireforming 30-06 brass to 9.3X62, we took three shots at 25, then here are the next six shots at 100 yd. Not too bad for a straight 2 1/2 power scope.

Adjusted scope down to hit three inches high, and the rest were fired at silhouettes out to 300 meters. Average velocity was 2174 fps (about 100 fps less than in the other rifle).
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new cast bullet shooter on board! :)

PS: Fifteen rounds fired and no leading at all. This is the second rifle with the same non-leading results.
