Surplus Beretta 81bb 32 acp and Cast Boolits
Howdy boolitpeoples.
I have my a new (to me ) eye-talliano surplus Beretta 81bb in 32 acp. It's such a neat little pistol. A non pistol shooting guy like me can keep it inside 2" groups at 21 feet with PPU factory loads. Keep in mind, I have never owned a non black powder pistol before. I'm super happy with how it performs. (so much that I bought a standard Beretta 81 as well)
So now that I have a basic understanding of what it can do.... of course I'm going to cast boolits for it.
So other than the usual/standard techniques for casting boolits (size matters, no leading, use the right powders, etc), is there anything I need to look out for while casting for this pistol? Again, I've never owned a pistol let alone cast for one. Anything I need to be concerned about with springs or anything on this model?
I think I know where to start load wise. I did a bunch of research on old threads. I'm starting out with the good ol RCBS 32-077-RN. I'm not going to cook up any super wizzer loads. I know this baby m9 is not made for speed or stopping power. I just will be putting holes in paper, or shootin' tin cans, or maybe a red squirrel.
So anyway, let me know if there is anything I should look out for or tweak with my plan. Thanks.
