I just use gas checks for my own cast bullets, which are Lyman 311334, and lubed with White Label Lube's Carnauba Red. I do have 100 powder coated 311399 bullets I think from Montana Bullet Works but I haven't loaded them up yet.With your cast bullets are you powder coating, GC’s, both?
What alloy or BNH?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I’d love to start casting for my rifles.
My alloy is just plain old wheel weights with a little added tin. I'm not sure of the BHN.
I did find that I can get up to about 2300-2400 fps using IMR4895 if I water quench the bullets to make them a bit harder. I much prefer to run them slower though.
