So I've been on again off again trying to figure out cast in one of my Garands. I'm to the point of giving up cause I'm tired of scraping lead. What am I doing wrong or what haven't I tried that might work.
I've tried commercial cast 311299 sized to 0.311 with severe leading. I've tried self cast 311299 COWW sized to 0.3105 in my Lee sizer with TAC X lube and I just tried today powder coating with no luck. Leading on the last two options was less but still present.
I will admit that my PC was a bit flaky so that might have been my issue this time out.
The only thing I haven't tried is sizing to 0.309 OR trying a different rifle.
My load is IMR 4895 at 33 gr with about 3/4 grains of dacron filler. If I continue I plan to up the charge to 34 or 35 with the filler.
Can anyone that has been successful shooting cast in a Garand help me out please? I honestly thought PC was the answer as it seems to have worked in my M1 Carbine.
