    Cast Loads for a Palma Rifle

    Johnch just kindled my interest with his post about the 308 @ 600 yards, and I didn't want to interrupt his post.

    I've got a Palma rifle that I'd like to try cast with. It's built on an RPA action with a 30", 1/13 twist Krieger barrel. Haven't shot it in 30+ years. Time to blow the cobwebs out of the barrel.

    Anybody care to recommend a starting load to try with cast? Boolit, alloy, bhn, powder, etc.?
    Sure would appreciate your thoughts.

    Sounds like the perfect platform for cast. Get notes from Gibson. Visit the Cast Bullet Assn site.

    In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.
