so i also posted this on face book but, kinda surprised by the lack of response my next cast project will be for my 760 in 30-06. i inherited from my wife’s grand fathers estate. i’m not sure where to start. i was thinking maybe either the lyman 211299 or the NOE clone. any other good molds out there? im not well versed in 30-06 like i should be.
if i wanted to keep the velocity around 1500 ish the lyman 211299 or the noe clone would be a good place to start ? i’m assuming if i wanted to go faster i would probably need a lighter bullet? is 1.5 inch group doable? from what little on facebook i’ve gotten people are tickled to get 2 inches at 100. the one guy was bragging about 2 inches with his 30-30
i don’t really plan on hunting with it. mainly just a range gun where are longest shot is 200 yards. ideally i’d like for postal shoots with the cba in stock hunter class.
i have not slugged the barrel yet. i will get that done before i buy the mold. right now for powder i have red dot, unique, 740, and varget that from what i’ve seen in the lyman manuals that could work.
