I have been out in the shop casting little 165 gr RD boolits for my .308MX. I ran across an extra box of 290 gr BTB hardcast and decided to put them in the mix. I had a couple dozen or so of boolits sent to me a while back that were the 165s but cast with straight WW and I added them to the mix along with a bit of lino.
Here is the odd thing. I had covered the pot and began to hear pop-ping over and over again about a dozen or so times. It was the gas checks blowing off the boolits which had been sent to me.:-? The fellow that sent them to me to try has complained a bit about accuracy problem with these boolits. It seems to me that some accuracy problems could be happening because of excess lube under the gas checks between the GC and boolit base. I have NEVER has this sort of thing happen before.
What say ye good folks,
Tnx,
Dave
