quit wineing. You probably have 10000 done in my ballistic cast mold by now anyway. I told you to buy one.
2 dogs,
Mine are comming out @ .432 and average 314 gr. This is with WW +2% tin babbitt and 2% mag shot. I cast a 30 cal ammo can full and the cavities were very consistant for weight and diameter.
I dont know what my alloy is exactly but my bullets are about 16 BHN.....
Dear Lloyd, please go outside, check if the lake is not frozen, then jump into it.....
The couple I weighed straight from the mould were around 315 grains

And I've had the darn things loaded for a couple weeks now , but one thing or another is keeping me from going to the range

Yup, mine drops them at 309 grs and 0.432" using WW + 2% tin. - without GC and lube.
The underweight issue seems to point to a miscalculation when the bullet was designed, and the undersize the same or when it was cut.
The way it is, it offers no big advantage over the Lee 310gr mold I already had, except it's a bit fatter.
Dear Lloyd, I may have your ballisticast mold a bit longer......
take your time pal im in no hurry for it back.
Mine drop at 310 grains and .4335ish from WW+2%Sn.
Works for me.

Took them out and shot them in my old Second Model Marlin 444 and just used open sights . No scope or peep sight .
And they did alright at 50 yards , when I go back friday or saturday I hope to have a peep at least or possibly a scope mounted .
I want to see what they will do at 100 yards , I am hoping for three in 2"
