Good morning, essentially this is a thank you message.
In my country, reload costs have gone up a lot. Two years ago I decided to put my hands on lead, buy the equipment and start casting my own boolits for my Mauser.
I have learned, I have asked, and I have read many publications to repeatedly hit a target at 640 meters on Sunday.
Thanks Duane, Larry and many others who selflessly have read and replied.
I have repeatedly hit a steel gong at 700 yards with my 308 cz.
I have used S&B brass necked through a lyman M die. The boolits were lyman 311466, aluminum gaschecks, crimped with a .311 die lee
Then I made them pc and then lubricated with orange magic and passed them through a 309 sizing die.
At the muzzle of the rifle 2530 fps on average.

Then the happiness of hearing the gong.

Thank you all!

Congratulations!!!

I don't know of anything more satisfying than hitting targets at long range with cast bullets.

Good on ya…. distance and a roll your own, is indeed quite satisfying.
