A big thanks to Fiver, Ian, and Brad.
I got my new mold in the mail a few days ago. I'm trying to continue the long range shooting out to 500 yards.
My first attempt was with some bullets Lamar sent me. They worked very well. Thank you.
Alloy is 15lbs coww
6 1/2 lbs lino
1/2lb 63/37 Sn/Pb
Bullets were water dropped.
I was very stringent on culling any visual defects and then weight sorting anything out of the "bell curve"
162gr-163gr were the only things kept if they past visual inspection. I spent the better part of 4 1/2 hours sorting and weighing the 600+ bullets.
I then sorted them into .01gr batches. The best my RCBS scales can weigh at least......
A few high and low weights and some defects, but I was pretty happy with how close a 5 cavity mold throws bullets.
