Well instead of sleeping like a sane person last night I had a little idea. Since this mold is supposed to be THE thing first standard 30cal .308 bore and the like...and my bear creek AR has a .308 bore.... Why not ?
The Lyman hand book was kinda a waste of time since it basically says don't waste your time with cast and semi autos, but looking in the Hornady hand book I saw that most of the loads where running. In the same ball park as what this bullet apparently likes for cast velocity soooo,did a little bit of a SWAG and decided 22.5 GR of accurate 2015 should be a good place.
Honestly didn't get super crazy with brass prep like I usually do because one I've only ever fed this thing steel cased and two ....I may have been half asleep at 1 a.m so standard, lube ,size ,trim champer all that goodness then expand with a NOE .311x307 plug. Then I just kinda fiddled around till I found a seating depth that would change the round with me using my thumb to just barely press the bolt carrier home.
Actually a little surprised but these need to be in kinda far
And today's set up. 50 yd feeding from the mag , front rest rear bag 1-4 monstrum LPVO, magneto speed Chrono which I must say, isn't the biggest fan of cast lol, she's a lil picky
Now I gotta say I wasn't expecting much but after the first 6rd of getting on paper I don't have ANY feeding issues, as far as the bolt not catching or picking up, did have to mortar the charging handle though but fixed the seating depth a little to hopefully alleviate that. But guys when I got on target !
First three rounds at 50 after getting some what zeroed, only read two of them right though
And the next charge level up
AND WH SAYS YOU CAN GET GOOD RESULTS WITH CAST OUT OF AN AR !
