Cast Boolits for the AR

[johnly]

I have AR's with a 1/7, a 1/9, and a 1/12 twist barrels and have tried a 22 LR conversion kit in the 1/12 and 1/9 guns. The 1/12 gun will shoot well enough to post good scores on the A-18 50' Smallbore rifle target, the 1/9 didn't shoot worth a hoot, so I didn't bother trying the 1/7 gun.

The old 1/12 twist "noodle" barrels off the old Colt SP-1 pop up from time to time, and if lead in your AR is your goal, this might be your best option.

Very interesting JFriis. I also have been working on casting boolits for my AR. Here is the link to the thread that got me going. Here is the link to anther with pictures. I used Larry Gibsons advise and tried H4895 with Wolf SR magnum primers. Right now I'm shooting 19 grains but I'm still working on it. Actually I'm going tomorrow morning to shoot some more. Gonna be cold, its 19 degress right now.

Thanks for those links!
Very nice pictures as well. I think I will have to invest in a better camera.
