12 bhn seems to work for me, lots of ways to get there

If it was as good or better you would be seeing it on the line at matches(you don't) and they record and list everything they do, I do PC and have even shot matches with it, sometimes it's almost as...

A lot of our meals were cooked with lead shot still in the meat, rabbit or squirrel dumplings were cooked for a long time simmering over a low heat, the shot was then picked out at the table while...

Besides all that your neck tension is too much, for a flop top you can seat them with your thumb

Yeah, they have had it before they even had gunpowder, maybe back then you could just pick it up off the ground, they even talk of using lead in the bible, it's hard to believe the technology was all...

I've been using a strong magnet here lately,just pull it out and wipe them off with a gloved hand after bumping it on the side a couple of times to dislodge any lead that's clinging to them

Shooting an 03a3 and m1917 both in milsurp matches, I've not had much luck at 1300 fps, but with 165 to 180 gr plain base 1050 to 1250 is golden, 7.5 of fast powder, that's bulls eye up to green dot,...

I use them in my milsurp plain based match loads, the group are better

Forum: Cast Boolits
I do both, but so far the accuracy is not there for mil surp matches, when you shoot six consecutive ten shot groups each match the difference is obvious, and I've tried it with plain based and gas...

Well, none of us can spell bullet either (I know I googled it), then in the bible they would "try" it along with their gold and silver

My 1889 Swiss shoots a .323 bullet through a .300 bore, and it does it accurately.

Take apart a 00 buck shot shell, lube one then tap it through a clean bore

I skinned one then cut it with a chain saw, it is a great alloy all by itself at around 12 bhn, an air chisel helps with the skinning

Size at .311, plain based stay below 1300 and 1200 is better, gas check stay below 1600 with middle burn rate stuff, stay below 2000 with slower powder, save on cleaning supplies and range time and...

Lots and lots of lucky 3 shot "wallet" groups, quite a few lucky 5 shot groups, but from what I've seen over the last fifty years, not to many lucky 10 shot groups

The first cases I got from baco worked but the first three had body splits the first time out, so I tore them down and full body annealed them and they are working fine now, they had swagged the base...

Buy a five dollar trigger kit and a 316299 mold, and try again

The way I find the groove size on odd numbers of rifling is, using a set of bullet sizers .311 thru .316 of so, find the one a slug will just barely go through, most will be surprised. On mine, which...
