Wrap that slug with a few layers of masking tape evenly to build it up.

Coat the affected tight area with the lapping agent of choice.

Fire over it with above slugs at low speeds.

If you ever get the chance Bill try some 4320 in that 30/30. Often some good loads. Even Aliant 19 at capacity can be interasting.


Nicely reported, I second that.

Great stuff. Some of the best. Ask Jumped trap... he loves the stuff.

Felix provides some good advice George.

Running 2000 fps and requiring 3 less MOA for elevation that puts the HBC at .500 Ballistic Coefficent.

Thanks for a most interesting post John.

That 2000 fps is in a 30/30? Did you figure bullet drop at that loading?

MOA.

I read it the same place you did.

You note the "accuracy suffers a bit". Is there evidence on paper targets shot that the nose is slumping flat due to accelleration down the barrel? Those holes will look like a wadcutter hole,...

Wallace what kind of lube are you showing in those pics?

When you running those 30 lappers, I assume just fast enough to clear the barrel? How hard a bullet?

WW alloy will match any lead/tin alloy in the accuracy department. As is written here often, cast hot for uniformity. Then allow an overflow on the spue plate to prevent premature setting of the...
