i got some real good groups with some Cast Performance LBT boolits last week at 50yds with my 357max Contender.i had some that were under an inch.i had high hopes for these cast boolits.today i moved back to 100yds and the groups went sour.i would have 2 that were almost touching and then there would be a flyer thrown in there.the flyer would be high and sometimes it would be low.its almost like Cast Performance put some odd ball boolits in the box and shook them up so you just never know what you were going to get.i shot all 50 that i had loaded up trying to get groups that i was satisfied with
after that ammo was shot up i got my pet loads out for the 357max just to see if it was me shooting those flyers.this load is 22gr of W296 with a 170gr Sierra JHC boolit.this load will shoot 2.5 inch groups and under at 100yds with a hot or cool barrel.after shooting a few of those i could see right away it wasnt me shooting the flyers.i had several 3 shot groups that were down near an inch.this TC barrel really likes this load and boolit.the groups that i get are those nice round groups with no vertical stringing that you get with some guns.you can shoot shot after shot with this load until you get tried of shooting and the gun puts them in there.
now my questions to all you cast boolit shooters?
why sighs of good groups at 50yds then they fall apart at 100yds?are the cast perforance boolits JUNK?what do you think is going on here with these cast boolits?
