Has anyone here on the forum gone to the effort of compiling info as to which lead alloy gives the best groups in rifles such as the 45/70.
Hard, soft, etc. etc.
AS per boolits which you want to expend, don't even go there, as I am not interested in such information.
From the results I saw last year with a LBT/WFN boolit I have little or no need for expansion.
However, I am greatly interested in alloys which, over time and testing have proven to provide better groups.
Currently I am using WW, air cooled.
I figure some of those with more hunting rifle casting experience under your belt then I, must have already run some of these type of tests.
With an early Elk season set to open in a week or less, I will probably not get to any more bench testing this Fall, but looking ahead as to what direction I should head for shrinking my groups.
Keep em coming!
