We had the party after the 10 week silly wet shoot this year. Most of the people shoot Rimfire rifle and pistol. Can't load those, so I shoot an open sited 45 LC, Scoped 44 Ruger Super Redhawk, and My Enfield, all with Cast Boolits. I was the only one shooting scoped CF pistol and CF Rifle. Took first with the 45.
After we shot some eggs @ 50 yards with the pistols and 22s, we moved out to 100 and blasted some baloons. When everyone was done with that, we still had baloons up so I asked if anyone wanted to shoot Center Fire Rifles at the rest. All but one guy said "I don't have my CF Rifle with me" I told them all they could use my rifles. I put My Remington 700 VL in 22-250 and my Stevens in 308 on the table each with 50 rounds of cast boolits. Most of the guys shot them and really liked them. My 13 year old son picked up the 308 having never shot it before and blasted the first baloon. 150 gr gas check over 11 grains Red Dot Av. 1568 fps. They were breaking baloons till they were all gone with the 22-250.....55 grain boolit over 18 grains SR4759 Av. 2684. We had a blast and I hope I got ONE more person hooked on cast boolits. When they were done, each box had about 10 to 15 rounds left in them.
