I have an Omark 44 also. I want to shoot subsonic cast at 50m ISSF Smallbore targets to see if o can shoot a 200 card. Outward gauging of course.

I think i need one in .357 Magnum also. I simply love my original .310

Thats great i have a full, unopened can of Nobel 64! I was beginning to think the tin can was worth more than its contents!

That 600yard group is amazing!! I need that group at 500m from my purpose built 3006.

There is a way of fitting a Central No.4 sight on the 98 action. If anyone has done so, please show how....I'm keen to fit one on my M98.

I'm not really, just wondered if it will make them harder again.

Any real world figures of BHN increase? My bullets are running at 16.5 BHN. Water quenching from the mold should increase this figure?

Less is more.....minimal bumping/sizing/distorting, betweeen the mold and chamber the better, regardless of sizing method I believe.

Fillers are unnecessary, to me it's all about the right powder choice...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I suspect the upside down being one problem. I think you would have been better off going with a std lee push thru, nose first to seat GC. At least the bullet would have a flat base to locate from.

I really love the popcan check idea! Might have to buy a .25 cal PB mold, and try them in my 25 303!

The paper will cover most of the bullet, as it needs to extend at least 1/32" of an inch past the start of the ogive of the bullet. So yes a lot of paper is visible usually. But as others have...

I'm currently using 95 GSM tracing paper, it's very tough. It measures .003" exactly what I needed with 2 wraps.

Thanks pdawg! I have done pretty much all you said except for the final seating by the rifling.
My bullet is a dedicated PP mold with grooves that resemble TL grooves of a Lee mold. It also had a...

Keeps me interested in my 1/12 3006 ventures!

That's a great set up! Think I need one!
I did check that, but there is a PB version also. I'm wanting to know which one was used in this testing.
Thanks anyway....
I'm lucky enough to have a swage set up, which has all four nose shapes......TWC, SWC, RN, and RNFP. Also a hollow base punch. So lots of bullet options for me to play with.
