I was invited over from another forum by Waco! It’s actually some of his fault I’m on this journey, and it’s been an exciting head scratcher. Im on a quest to get to 500 yards with the 308. Been reloading since 2001. Casting pistol since 2005 and just 3 years ago converted 99% over to cast in everything I own! My very first cast bullets I loaded for 308 gave me a 23” group at 100 yards I knew then there was going to be science involved in this endeavor. Im looking forward to reading and learning from all who will put up with me, I’m a bit slow but Stubborn in the fact I won’t quit! I aquired some Accurate 5744 last weekend and produced so fairly good 100 yard groups. Using the NOE 312-165 GC and powder coated. Im considering and will try some pan lube this weekend that Waco suggested. I also have been weight sorting bullets for.5 grain consistency. I also have a goal to start paying closer attention to what alloys I use for this project. My normal pot consist of 3 parts clip on wheel weights and I part pure lead. And that’s been a fantastic blend for powder coating and hunting. Rifle of choice is ruger American Go wild with 26” barrel and Simmons 4x12-44 pro target scope
