Title: Re: Cast bullet question
Post by madsenshooter on Jan 12th, 2018 at 2:20am
On the subject of cast for Camp Perry, I do have a quantity of NOE's 311284 that are cast of the alloy I used for Paul's bullets above.  I've had that alloy up over 211,000rpm in a 6x45 AR with a 1/8 twist and was getting good accuracy.  2000fps in a Krag would only be 144,000rpm.  I have a good selection of slow burning powders.  The bullets have been aging a few years, they're already sized and sorted by weight, 204 point something checked and lubed. A lot of casters say the 311284's accuracy tops out at around 1800fps, but it might have a velocity range it likes up a little higher.  The 311365 seemed to me to like 2175fps or so.  Totally different bullet of course.  I'll get enough loads together to see if the accuracy will hold up for 35rds.
