I was wondering if anyone has tried to cast bullets for the 17 Remington. I have seen some bullet molds for the 17cal and thinking of maybe getting one but not sure how well they will work in such a fast round. I don’t want to smear lead all through my Shilen barrel it loves the Hornady 25gr. HPs but I was looking on Midway and they don’t have them on their site anymore I hope they didn’t stop making them.
If someone has casted for the 17 Remington and works good where would find load data for this? I read one form about someone having some cast bullets blowing up from trying to push them to fast. So if this is the case it might be a waste of time and money to try something that is going to blow all to pieces from going around 4000fps and possibly smear lead from one end to the other.
