You have my attention.
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
Nice job! Plz give us the specs on the rifle etc.
It's all chicken, even the beak!
what alloy are you using and wondering about the load and velocity. two calibers I have yet try cast bullets in are 243 and 270 I've always thought of them as 3000fps loads

Basically #2 alloy, LBT Blue lube, playing with 15 to 16 grains of 2400, Winchester Large Pistol Primer, 1 grain of Dacron filler. Have not checked velocities. This combination of powder, filler and primer also shoots well in my 257 Roberts. I will also be testing in 243 and 7-08 as time permits.

After deer season, I'll begin the endeavor of cast in the 6.5 Creedmoor. My son's .260 may get some too.
After a 6.5 Swede that didn't work out and went down the road, I have quite a few various 6.5 cast bullets around to try out. Looks like you have it figured out.
