I decided to size and lube some 22 Bator boolits today that I cast about a year ago. I've been busy with other projects and haven't really wrangled the good out of these. I discovered that something had accidentally Beagled the mould and the boolits were .227+. They sized down OK, but the gas checks were a pain and wouldn't go on many of them. The mould also had misaligned on most of them. That is a drawback to water dropping, you can't inspect them as they drop and catch the problems. I should have caught it when I bagged them, but probably was in a hurry. I sorted out 60 + that were pretty good and sized and lubed them and loaded 25 in 222 with 8 gr. of Herco and 25 in 22-259 with 8 gr. Red Dot. There was light rain and windy conditions, but I had to go shoot some from the truck window at some cans on the berm at 50 yds. The loads show promise so I'm anxious to bench them and see what they can do. The forecast for tomorrow is gust to 50 MPH, so it won't be tomorrow. I sized them to ,225 and used 50/50 + Carnuba and there was no trace of leading from the 10 I fired in each gun.
