Why are people so fixated on a certain knife or thing for me even if I lost what ever fav knife I have made for myself it would be no big deal I am not one to worry about stuff I would just find a...

I will take a look for that post as it may help me out with other molds...

I think I have just decided to leave this mold alone and go adventure to other molds...

OH I have pushed it to the point of flattening primers with soft and hard cast.

I have molds from 120 to 230 grain even then I am not particularly fond of any of them as far as accuracy goes but I got all this lead you see guess I will just have to turn it all into 6 tons of...

2 foot x 2 foot...

Just want to have my own castable 240 or 250 grain boolit that can hit at least close to the center of a target at 100 yards dont need it for long range stuff.
I want this for...

Using red dot 7 to 15 grains, 4350 20 to 52 grains same with rl-17 cant hit a 2x2 target at 100 yards may as well be a shotgun..
lubed or powder coated make no difference just a poor bullet choice...

I want to get the mold modified to a flat top and to be around 250 grains would this be hard to get done if I find someone competent with a metal lathe?
Or just give up on this mold it just does not...

OK thanks for the info.

I was wondering if it then mattered if the bullets were water hardened or not now it sounds like I should be water hardening boolits and also powder coating under 250F the...

Powder coated bullets is only the coating going into the rifling or is some of the cast lead also going into the rifling as well what about only one coat of PC or two coats of PC make a difference...

OK got to the range finally and it was not the most accurate and was at least a foot pattern at 100 yards if not more at times but then I just reloaded with the lee classic and I did allot of things...

so just out of curiosity can you cast pewter boolits instead of lead and will they then be lead free ammo?
if not what is the problem with using pewter for boolits?

I thought I would try anyways and see if someone had tried this I will look up the info you gave me just to have a look at it thanks.

Accurate mold 31-250E I was wondering if anyone has tried this mold and if they had any luck with it as I am contemplating getting this mold but am finding very very little info as to its use and no...

Very nice Goshawk I am already jealous them flat tops do very well for expansion I need to get out and test mine to see how they do.

have you hunted with this boolit Moonie if so did you get anything with it and did it work for you?

I too think a flat top is what I will eventually get that 250gr Accurate Mold looks like what I am after now that I am powder coating.

For this hunt I will give what I have a try always interested...

I think I am in the ball park of BHN 11-12 as this batch dropped em pretty heavy out of the mold at 234 grain the next block of lead I melted down dropped em at 226 grains I did not load any of them...

Thanks for the link!
The one that caught my eye was the 31-250E made for powder coat I could go for this one!

I have done allot of reading over the last year on the use of the 30-06 in Africa and how well it did over their although its not allowed now for what they call dangerous game but back in the day it...

I have proven factory ammo along with me also but the first shot I would like to try a cast bullet their will be others with me so if they don't like what they see their will be another 3 shots in...

Thanks yes that is interesting info!

The ones In this batch shown above are pretty soft they are not water hardened in any way I still have no idea if they will expand or not though.
I have not...

I have 234 grain powder coated and gas checked cast boolits for my 30-06 at 2000 FPS I would like to use this on a moose hunt bigger is better right but cant decide if I should shoot for the...

can you give some detail on how you make them hollow point.
I saw a test where it did tumble a fare bit but no expansion I want expansion but dont know how to make them hollow point.
I was thinking...

I was just thinking of looking up a BBQ sauce recipe for the smoker for next months retreat trip thanks...
