Cast Bullet - 270 Winchester
@ 03:16 pm (GMT) |
Scott HaenelAnyone out there shoot cast in the 270 ???I just started casting for pistol shooting about a year ago, I decided to give it a try for my rifle shooting. @ less than 7 cents a shoot, this is cheaper shooting than paying friggin arm and a leg for 22s. |

Scott HaenelRe: Cast Bullet - 270 WinchesterI have five or six different molds right now, I made approximately 20-30 bullets for each mold.I only had a chance to put about 30 rounds down range. I must have looked like the biggest fool at the range, after my 1st shot I had the biggest grin on my face. I loaded 30 rounds using: Winchester LRP Remington cases 8.8 grains of Unique Lyman 280468s (108 grain) GC bullet I was really happy with the results. My Ruger shot 2.8 inches low at 50 yards, but I was able to put 5 into a group of .920" with 1 called flyer off the bench. My worst 5 shot group was 1.3 inches. I hope to get back out with a couple of sand bags and see what I can do with a steadier setup. I still have a couple of other bullets to try: 280468l = 117 grain GC bullet 280412 = 139 grain GC bullet 280473 = 124 grain GC bullet H & G = 150 grain GC bullet Lee = 125 Grain GC bullet I don't know about the LEE, the mold drops a bullet that's small compared to my groove diameter, so I may pass on that one.
