Guys,
Over the years I've shot a boat load of cast bullets in handguns.
Have shot just a few in rifles ... .308, and .470 NE. The results with the .308 have always been so-so. The results with a 500 gr FPGC WW bullet lubed with 50/50 Alox Bee's wax has been quite good.
Recently had a .459 430 grain FPGC mold made by Ballisti-Cast (I really like H&G molds). It did not perform will with XMR 5477 in a Lott. Worked fine at near full velocity driven by Varget. Will be looking to use it in 45-70, and .458 AR.
Have been using 50/50 ALox/Bee's Wax and it is obviously just at it's limits at 2100-2200 fps with WW.
Has anyone used the "While Label" lubes for higher velocity stuff ( http://www.lsstuff.com/lube/index.html )? Particularly interested in the Carnauba Red version for high velocity stuff.
Thanks!
