Has anyone tried to cast the Lee 230gr 30 cal cast boolit with a wilks gas check? If so, what is your experience trying it and have you tried it with a subsonic load?

yes. I believe it is the Wilks gas check system which I was thinking of. My idea was to have the rebated boattail of alloyed lead after the last driving band. After reading what you folks posted, I'm...

I read a previous thread which had tried to address this problem and seen some fancy pics of boattailed gas checks. I would like to attack the problem from a different and cheaper angle. I would...

I decided that creating a paperpatch and gascheck as one unit would not work. My biggest concern was that the unit would not seperate from the boolit in a consistant manner, so I came up with this...

Personally I think that it's good to be fartin around, experimenting ect. Our fore fathers did the same and that gave us guns to shoot and cast boolits to feed the guns. :cbpour: If they had not...

I was thinking about that and I can't think of a way of setting the bullets in accurately and consistantly. If the bullet is not set in straight and accurately then the center of rotation will not...

Hi guys, I found this thread googling this subject. I have an idea which I wonder whether it has been tried. Could a slurry be made with the appropriate fibre length and thickness to put through a...

that's great, thanks

I totally agree with what you have said. When I loaded my GP100 with Bullseye I was always looking down the case to make sure it was not double charged.

I'm ok. Can't win em all

I can't beat that .It was a spur of the moment thing while passing by. I bought from an elderly gentleman on a farm who has quit reloading and decided to get rid of it. He had sold everything else...

It is a good idea but not practical until a way is found out to easily incorporate a Wilks gas check. There would definately be benefits, but mostly when the bullet is subsonic. I found this at the...

Garage sale jackpot!!!! 4lbs of IMR 7625 for $15!!!!
Still smells and looks good.

I looked through the threads for any info on the powder and didn't find any. I've seen the charts place this...

Thanks Larry

I'll try both Bullseye and Trail Boss. I'm practicing with a sling and want to get good at it. Eventually I expect to compete shooting Palma.

I haven't tried loads that get me...

I'm looking for a load to use in my 308 using Lee 160 cast lubed in liquid alox. I'm leaving off the gas checks and want to keep the loads below 1400fps. The barrel has a 1 - 13 twist.

I am...
