First Targets with my .308

[sixshootertexan]

I finally got my .308 finished and shot some targets today. I'm using .308 BBT style cast bollits (Accurate Molds) that I've casted from the free lead I got from the scrap guys that come to our shop. This is my first time casting. I casted 3 weights 79, 95, and 110 gr. The 110's seem to be the front runners in accuracy. The 110's averaged 869fps for 184.5fpe. Should be able to do better when I iron out the air supply issues.

Thanks. Those where sized to .308. I may try some as cast next time. I may need to look for a heavier boolit too.

Not bad at all. I size my .308 which has a .308 groove to .309 which shrunk the groups . If you want to try a couple of inexpensive molds a Lee 311-2R and a Lee 309-113 FN have given me good results . The 309 is a GC but with out one it shoots good for me . Marvin

That 309 is real close to the 110gr that I'm shooting now. http://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=31-110A-D.png

Did some more testing today. Got the groups shooting a little tighter. 2" at 100yds.
