Howdy Folks,
I am glad I found your web site. I have been casting boolits since 1987. I shoot handguns regularly, and an now into Cast rifle shooting too. My local club just this year made it legal to use center fire rifles for the siloette match. We have to shoot at the big center fire pistol targets, so I am hoping for some perfect scores.
I have had a contender in 32-20 for a long time that shoots 1 1/4" goups at 100 lyds with a 118 gr gc LEE mold. I tried to shoot lead out of a 1917 enfield, but not get under 2" no matter what I did. NOW I am working with a rem 700 VS in 22-250.
I am using the Lyman tapered design 55 gr gc. My first attempts were OK, but then I tried to use pure linotype and they shoot worse. I just got a .225 sizing die yesterday. I am thinking that might help. The first shot is right off the target. The gun will shoot just over 1/4 @ 100 yards with jaketed stuff, but I can't make jacket here.
Nice to meet everyone
David
