Greetings CH26
Congratulations ! It does the heart good to see the fruit of the work laying on the ground ready to head to the table.
Have a 300 BO also and will give the "tumble powder coat" a whirl next time north. Fun caliber that makes the "plastygun" worth shooting.

Boolet passed through. Went back yesterday to see if i could find it in the ground, all this rain and i couldnt determine the impact area.

[Fishman]

Nice shooting! Is that the Lee 155? Not that it was needed here but you can enhance the expansion by filing a flat on the nose.

Congrats. Got my first cast kill in the 2014-15 season. It was a rush. The cast does a number on deer and hogs. I was quite impressed with the results.

What mold did you use?
Thanks

I would also like more information on your bullet and loading methods.

I cast a few .312/155 Lee's the other day to play with in my brothers AR 300 BO. So far we have not ordered a Push Through Sizer or a Lube Sizer Die for it. Still pondering what size exactly to size to. We had a larger diameter expander built to test. Our first lead bullet try with the Missouri Bullet Company bullets did not work as well as hoped for.

congrats I am new on here and also got my first deer with my cast bullets this year I was using a 454 casull ruger super redhawk

[chickenhawk26]

Mold was the lee 230 gr designed for the blackout. Still working on a reliable load. The shot was 50yds, complete pass through but was subsonic.

[rosewood]

230 grain at subsonic speed. Isn't that like shooting them with a 45 acp? At 1050 fps, that is like 563 ft lbs at the muzzle.

Nice going. Looks to be a very nice one and heavier than mine was this year for sure. Yes you are now addicted and its not bad.
