[Taylor]

171263 171264 just playing around with COAL.

5R5---no powder coat,just lube and gas check.

One of the guy's at the range I talk to a lot,commented that he would have never thought my cast boolits would shoot that good.

[castaroo]

[LAH]

What you shooting there Taylor can't make it out on my phone?

Savage Model 12 BVSS .223

50 yards..my back has been hurting for a couple of days now and I didn't want to walk any further.

70 grains

They have not been chrono'd

[LAH]

Have the same rifle, same caliber but have yet to shoot.

[tygar]

I've got that same rifle & it sure shoots jackets good. No cast yet.

[toallmy]

I am attempting to shoot cast rcbs 22-55sp out of a bvss 12 with a 9 twist 26 in barrel c red , and gc . Hehehe but my target did not look like that .

[Taylor]

Try a heavier boolit.As far as store bought,this one likes the Winchester 69 grain match...8 rds same hole.171600

[LAH]

That's a good group with the Winchester load even though the target satsuma 50 yards. Do you have a thread somewhere about this rifle?

[toallmy]

First cast rifle shooting , a long way to go

[Taylor]

There's actually a couple of threads.Normally when I'm just testing loads,I see no reason to walk farther than 50 yards.Back and knees hurt a lot.When I find something I think will work,then I move to the 100 yard line.As of yet,I haven't made it that far.We are leaving for Rhode Island tomorrow,when I return,we'll see what happens at 100.

Even though it does like the Winchester ammo,at 40 bucks a box of 20,that ain't good and besides it goes against the fact,I didn't make them.

[LAH]

besides it goes against the fact,I didn't make them.

We could drink coffee together. :smile:

[runfiverun]

he was also referring to a post he made in the powder coat section, where I suggested he drop the coating and try again.
it looks like they work just fine without the extra steps.

[Taylor]

You are right my friend(5R5),but I like to play.I am also trying to determine if the gas check will be that big of difference.Hornady's vs my homemade,so far it has.Just as a different primer made a shot group difference.The powder coat was a complete waste of time and effort.I do still pc the wife's 45's.Makes her happy,so I do it.
