Hi Folks,
Since I got my 340 Savage 30-30 I have been fortunate to get some nice moulds to try in it from Ben.
He basically sent me his plain based moulds of the Lyman 311291 and the 311467 but the other cavities were drilled for HP's so I retrofitted my "Buckshot" HP pin assembly to fit Ben's moulds!
I did a lot of bench rest shooting in the 1980's with jacketed bullets & i always gravitated to the HP match bullets because of their accuracy potential! Now that I'm only shooting cast bullets in my rifle I decided to try my old 1980's HP concept to cast bullets and Target shooting!
So that became my quest!
Without posting targets ....I have found that the HP versions of Ben's Lyman 311291 and 311467's are far more accurate then the solid versions.
I'm going to to do more testing with photo documentation soon but I wanted to start this thread to get it going.
Mosts folks think of HP'ing a cast bullet is for shooting game! But what I'm saying is that HP'ing cast bullets will improve accuracy on Paper if you are a target shooter!
I will continue this thread!
