i have the same barrel and had to polish the feed ramp. not saying this will fix everything, it could also be the mags or how deep you seated the bullet.

Just save up for a barret 50bmg at this point

yeah i was just reading some loads off a book and noticed unique was listed around 10-20grs with most of the bullet designs for both calibers. I also find it easier to collect 308 brass on the range,...

I'm eyeing a savage bolty only $200 at basspro for this weekends shopping but i cant convince myself which caliber would i prefer between these two. I plan on casting and powdercoating them so...

i already have a membership at an outdoor range, i only went to this indoor one as a guest because my dad has a membership at the local indoors. Oh believe me i bet he wanted me to buy their ammo,...

Have any of you ever had your ammo rejected by a range because they called your PC bullets "lead"? After 3 yrs at my local range I had the owner check my ammo and cut me off every chance I had to...

are yours gas checked? does lil gun also leave powder burns on your brass? thats been my experience, i forgot the chrono data but i have another stash ready to go of both lil gun and rl7. i'll...

pretty trash accuracy with both rl7 and lilgun at 50yds from my experience. im using a bca upper with the AA tank brake
Forum: Cast Boolits
COAL 2.13, FPS around 1400-1500, even if the pressure is low i dont think i'll want to step it up because as i mentioned and others have, it gets hot, real hot and thumps quite a bit beyond 30gr imo....

after the 3rd trip im still getting burn marks on the casings, splatter being spit out from the brake towards my 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock (possibly unburned powder being shot through the barrel), bad...

I couldn't find primers being sold on their site, are they sold out?
Forum: Cast Boolits
any more info on his load data? I'd really appreciate it what his powder charge is, coal, gas checked? Im hitting the range friday with a new batch of lil gun and rl7 with a few modifications from...

Been experimenting with titegroup and the lee 124gr 2R. works fine and i love how cheap this powder is, fractions of a penny per charge.
Forum: Cast Boolits
looking forward to updates i have the same mold and same accuracy issues. i mean its not total garbage accuracy but its nothing accurate compared to my 45 pc bullets. I'll try sizing to 358 and move...
Forum: Cast Boolits
yeah im dealing with major powder burns on the brass and its incredibly hot brass. Haven't checked the temp on the barrel but next time ill take a laser therm to check.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm planning on experimenting with checks on this bullet soon to compare without one. Ultimately I will go with the non check route to cut cost down, I bought this upper to blow up watermelons and...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Did you ever get around to shooting them without gas checks? I went out and tried again with lil gun and rl7 and barely get 2-3" at 30yds. Ive laddered up to 30gr of lil gun 1500fps, 42gr rl7 ~1500...

dumped a container of rejected bullets into hot lead. problem is there was a hidden primer at the bottom of the cup. 2nd problem, i wasnt wearing eye protection, or shoes or pants. Primer popped in...

Thanks a lot of good info to take with me here. I got the summer and a fresh membership to get all this worked out.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I like to think of it as a journey. Make a ton of mistakes and keep trying till you see improvements. If it's not one thing you move on to the next. Right now is sizing consistently over the bore...
