Pretty deadly expansion results Blood Trail!! :)
Thx for sharing.
Petander, what load/seating sequence do you use for the rb? Or do you just drop these in a plastic wad?
Was thinking they...
That’s pretty good for a smooth bore! My first shotgun is a Win 1200. Bought it with my paper FAC years ago.
With all the talk about the .690 rb has me thinking that maybe I should try. I use...
Those groups look pretty good. Was it fully rifled barrel? Make?

Same here, I cast from a TC Maxi Ball mould using pure lead. I lube them with a mix of alox and beeswax and seat in ox yoke lubed fiber wad and 80grs of goex 2f, sometimes 100grs. Unfortunately my TC...

I second the .58 :happy dance:
So far my favourite for sure. She’s a slow 1:70 twist and liking 110grs Goex 2F, cast rb and precut pillow ticking patch. She rests in a TC .54 Hawken stock and...

Does your Marlin have a Micro Groove barrel? If so will this affect anything?
Interesting method 🤔. Good thing he was wearing heavy gloves. Don’t know if the open toe sandals would’ve done much.
Oh those Russians eh :groner:

I’d like to get one in 308 $ 223. I like the 5R rifling concept. That could be why the awesome group perhaps? I’d be curious how my Lee 200grs would group. I’ll be trying them in my Savage Axis heavy...
Casting shot eh :grin: Something I might have to look. To when I retire.
The petals will fold over nose of slug causing inaccuracies. I didn’t know this until reading a thread on here.

I got the idea to cast for my Win 88/308 from another Alberta Canada castboolit shooter off here.
I’m casting the Lee 200gr RNGC, WW, lubesized to .309 and a dose of IMR 3031 has accounted for 1...

I’d be interested to see how they shoot Blood Trail. They look very shuttle cockish.

If it makes any difference, I am casting and hunting with the Lee 200gr RNGC for all my game in my .308 Win (Win 88).

I watched Idaho Lewis’s videos on YouTube. I have a new to me Renegade which I’ll be using cast TC Maxi-Hunters with felt wad. If I.L. can get good groups then I should be able to also.
