I went to the range today with a new to me Taurus 99 AL (a ber M9 clone with a Alm frame)6 inch barrel,
Here is the thing i was at KY north east range and i had about 5 or 600 rounds of 9mm they were not sized, the read .3595 after seated and crimped and pulled and measured the alloy was 50/50 ww and range lead, 2 VERY light coats of 45/45/10 seated to 1.110 with 3.8 grain of clays powder it was the LEE 6 cavity TL 124 LRN grn
at 21 yards the bullets were going in a 12 inch group hitting completely sideways at 98 yards it was about 15 FOOT groups!!!
i dug up some of the bullets from the hard hard dirt and i could not even see any of the TL grooves!! how could gas cutting be that bad? the bullets are WELL larger than the bore (.3575) im lost.
the lead was so bad that i could not even see the rifling from about an inch past the chamber to the muzzle was my alloy to soft or i think i might have not put enough lube on the bullets since it was almost clear on the boolit! PLEASE help!!
