Hi guys, I am new too bullet casting. Let me tell you what I am expierencing
I am trying to make a extremely cheap plinking round for 308 and .223 and I am trying to do this out of pure lead, The reason is simple. I live in california and it is very hard too get bullet casting lead at a good price out here. That being said this is what is happening
I am using imr 700 x and unique powder, moderate loads. I started out at around 1400 fps using powder coated 170 grain bullets, Horrible accuracy Im talking cant hit paper at 50 yards.
same thing in the .223, however my 9mm are working well. I only loaded the 9mm too around 1000 fps so I am thinking I need too keep the velocities very low on the rifle rounds?
Any input would be appriciated
