Well I cast up some pure lead from rotometals.. Lyman 225416. Powder coated them. Plain base. Not sure of the velocity. 4 gr of 700x. At 50 yards they shot pretty good. 10 shots. I was pleased.
Looking for information on cast bullets for 223 with a 12 twist barrel as well as bullets for a 7 twist barrel. I've heard that 45 to 60 grain will work in either barrel.
I was thinking harder bhn would be needed in the 7 twist. Appreciate any advice on this. John
Wheel weights are impossible to find around here. If you want range lead you have to dig for it. Sometimes I just buy of box of hard cast at the gun shop and melt them back down. Or order on line. I have a lot of whatever I got from other people. No idea what it is. That's my story and I'm...
I to do to much thinking and reading about things..some stuff I have a tough time understand it. Made up 50 powder coated red.. I hope to test in a few days, depending on the predicted snow... appreciate your post..
Has anyone tried shooting pure lead powder coated bullets in the 223 bolt action rifle. Seems at low velocity they would work.
After all think of the 22 rimfire ammo...just a thought..
Put a Henry 22 rimfire on layaway. Has the rail for scope. Can't focus open sights anymore. What would be a decent budget scope for this rifle. Use small game or plinking...thanks. Johnny
