The results are so so. A big thank you to all who have helped me out with this process. Fiver, Ian, Brad, Popper, Ben, Dan, 35 Shooter, I'm sure I missed some guys. I'm sorry. So. Here are the first attempts at shooting cast .308 bullets at a 12" square steel target at 500 yards.
I have learned that speed is your friend at this distance. If the bullet goes from super to sub sonic before you reach the target.......good luck hitting anything.
Three bullets tested. All NOE molds
312299
Saeco 315 copy
30 XCB
IMR 4831 charged all of the bullets today.
The first two mentioned were cast by me. The xcb bullet was donated by Fiver. Wanna talk some sweet numbers?.......
I loaded these with 46gr of said powder.
Five shots over the Chrony gave these results
2265,2257,2257,2265,2256
ES-9
SD-4.09
This was obviously the winner at the 500 yard plate today. Did I mention I'm buying this mold?...
PLEASE watch the video. I had a limited number of rounds loaded today. (I wasn't sure how well they would shoot)
The one five shot group I fired at 100 yards was not spectacular but, 3 shots in one hole and two in the other. My guess was it was me, not the load.
Anyway. Please watch and give me your feedback. We are slowly gaining interest on YouTube.
I gave Artfulbullet a shout out. Hope to bring in some new blood.
