Hi everyone;
My father and I are fairly active shooters and reloaders, and due to the rising cost of jacketed bullets I've been looking into trying some commercial cast boolits before potentially investing in casting equipment.
Getting to the point, my favorite rifle is a Ruger 77/357 that we've put some elbow grease and modifications into. It retains the factory 18.5 inch barrel. After reading some of Glen Fryxell's writings on cast boolits, I've made a few potential selections from around the internet.
1) For velocities exceeding 1500 fps, I was thinking that Stateline Bullets' 158gr #H&G 51 replica in 16 BHN would be a good choice. Link: https://statelinebullets.com/shop/ca...38-158-gr-swc/
2) For velocities anywhere below that, I had my eye on Missouri Bullet Co.'s coated 158 SWC in their 12 BHN alloy. Link: http://missouribullet.com/details.ph...ry=9&keywords=
I joined Cast Boolits just recently to see if I could get some pointers. Does anyone have any experience with these boolits, and perhaps a few tips or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
